MEASURING FLOW OF WATER IN A P I P E LINE A THIN plate with a hole in it is clamped between the flanges of two pieces of pipe. The drop in pressure at the plate and the amount of water flowing per minute are measured. The orifice plate, as it is called, is thus made a meter for t h e amount of water flowing. In this experiment pressure gages are also used. PUMP TESTING PLATFORM CENTRIFUGAL pumps up to 12 inches in size can be tested on this platform for capacity and power required for operation. The power to operate a pump under test is supplied by a 100 horse-power steam engine. Two centrifugal pumps can be seen in the picture. MATERIALS TESTING AND HYDRAULICS WORK
