APPARATUS

1. FLUID FLOW APPARATUS - allows students to study flow, flow measurement

techniques and losses in a wide variety of pipes and fittings.

2. MERCURY MANOMETER- A manometer can be designed to directly measure absolute

pressure. The most common form of this manometer is the conventional mercury

barometer used to measure atmospheric pressure. With just one connection, this

configuration can measure pressures above and below atmospheric pressure.

3. THERMOMETER - is a tool that measures temperature — how hot or cold something is.

Made up of thermo (heat) and meter (measuring device), the meaning of the

word thermometer is pretty straightforward. Thermometers measure temperatures in

degrees, according to either the Celsius or Fahrenheit system.
