FME24 Unit for the Study of Porous Beds in Venturi Tubes (Darcy´s Equation)
INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS
The Unit for the Study of Porous Beds in Venturi Tubes (Darcy´s Equation), "FME24", designed by EDIBON, is formed by a circular section conduit with a truncated cone shape, transparent, and with pressure taps that allow measuring simultaneously the values of static pressure corresponding to any point of different sections.

General Description
The Unit for the Study of Porous Beds in Venturi Tubes (Darcy´s Equation), "FME24", designed by EDIBON, is formed by a circular section conduit with a truncated cone shape, transparent, and with pressure taps that allow measuring simultaneously the values of static pressure corresponding to any point of different sections.
It also has three another conduits, full of sand of different diameters of grain.
The conduit ends can be extracted, so they can be placed in a convergent or in a divergent way in regard to the flow direction.
There is a probe (Pitot’s tube) that moves along the section in order to measure the height of each section (dynamic pressure).
The flow velocity in the unit can be modified by adjusting the control valve and by using the Hydraulics Bench (FME00) or Basic Hydraulic Feed System (FME00/B).
