Orifice Flowmeter | FluidoSurge-X 232

The Orifice Flowmeter | FluidoSurge-X 232 by SCIENTICO is a laboratory apparatus for studying flow measurement using the differential pressure method. It features a transparent acrylic pipe section with an orifice plate and manometer connections for pressure loss measurement. The unit supports experiments on Bernoulli’s principle and continuity law. Suitable for fluid mechanics and hydraulics teaching laboratories.

The Orifice Flowmeter FluidoSurge-X 232 is a laboratory apparatus designed to demonstrate and study flow measurement using the differential pressure principle. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the unit enables experimental verification of Bernoulli’s principle and the continuity law. It is intended for instructional use in fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratories. The apparatus operates in conjunction with a hydraulic bench or laboratory water supply.

Product Overview

 

FluidoSurge-X 232 consists of a transparent pipe section fitted with an orifice plate that constricts the flow area. As fluid passes through the orifice, an increase in velocity causes a measurable pressure drop. This differential pressure is displayed on a manometer, allowing the flow rate to be calculated based on the geometry of the orifice. The transparent front section provides clear visualization of the flow restriction and measuring principle.
