Procedure:
1. Connect the multi-limb manometer limbs to the various static pressure taps of the rig and the two
probes. Then fill the manometer reservoir with water.
2. Switch on the control panel with the motor speed control at minimum.
5. Start taking reading from the manometer (water column heights) with one of the limbs open to
atmosphere. The open limb provides a reference atmosphere water column height. The pressure (positive of
vacuum) at that station is noted down. For the limbs connected to the probe, the difference between the
water column heights directly gives the velocity head.
6. Repeat the above procedure for different speed conditions of the motor and note down the readings.
8. Tabulate the observations and calculate the required values. Plot the necessary curves.
