SCOPE:
‘An orifice is used to discharge liquid into the etmosphere from reservoirs, tanks and.
conduits. Orifices provided in dams to supply water to canals. Orifice are fitted into
srorage tanks also. In such example, itis essential to know the actual discharge
flowing tivough the orifice and the time require to empty the tanks when flow takes
place through. They ere determined by Knowing the jet characteristic and the
hhydtaulic constants of the orifice. Coefficient of discharge ca, coefficient of velocity

Determine the discharge by timing the mass of water collected in the

Note H and continue to do so during the discharge measurement process and
determine an average H.
Repeat the procedure five more times by reducing flow and at each stage
measure the flow rate and head.
At three of the values of H, measure the trajectory of the jet by taking reading
of horizontal distance from the orifice (X) against the vertical drop Y. At
orifice X=0, Y=0
