This laboratory features a closed-loop water system designed for evaluating flow measurement devices. The core setup includes a centrifugal pump, calibrated piping network, and a surge tank to maintain steady pressure. Multiple flow meter types are installed in series along the test section, allowing direct performance comparison under identical flow conditions.
The system incorporates precision control valves for flow adjustment and pressure taps for diagnostic measurements. A transparent viewing section enables visual flow observation. This configuration allows comprehensive analysis of each meter's characteristics across the full operational range
