INTRODUCTION:
A mouth piece is a short length of the pipe about three times its diameter connected to
the face of an orifice, which is provided in the side or bottom of the vessel. It is used for
the measurement of discharge of large quantities of liquid since; the rate of discharge
through a mouth piece will be more than that of an orifice, for the same diameter and
head.
OBJECTIVE:
GRAPHS:
Qa Vs
Qa Vs h
EQUIPMENT:
THEORY:
The test rig consists of a mouthpiece fitted to a tank along with piezometer. The liquid is
allowed to flow through the mouth piece and the liquid from the mouth piece is collected
in the collecting tank fitted with piezometer to measure the rise of the liquid level.
