The flow velocity can be calculated from the volume flow, which is determined with a measuring vessel
and a stopwatch.

1.6. Procedures
Preparation of the Activity
1. Close the drain valve (4).
2. Switch on the water supply. When using HM 150 Basic Hydraulic Bench, switch on the pump.
Carefully open the control valve (3).
3. Adjunct the valve to produce a constant water level in the reservoir.
4. After a time, the test pipe section (5) is completely filled.
5. The activity can begin.
6. Open the drain cock slightly to produce a low rate of flow into the test pipe section. The colored
waste water is best directed down the drain.
