    This document describes a laboratory experiment to determine the flow coefficients of an orifice under constant head. The experiment involves using a hydraulic bench, orifice apparatus, stopwatch, and volume measuring cylinder to measure flow rates through different orifice plates under varying reservoir head values. The results are then analyzed to observe the relationship between discharge and head over the orifice.

    Orifice Flow (Constant Head)

    Name: Bermoy, Bethany G. Instructor: Ms. Michelle Daarol


    Program: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Code: 2255

    I. Introduction

    The discharge of water from an orifice is constant if the head above the orifice is constant, which
    means that the rate of inflow equals the rate of outflow. As a result, the theoretical discharge is affected
    by the head over orifice.

    II. Objective

    • To determine the flow coefficients of an orifice under constant head.

    III. Apparatus/Materials

    • Hydraulic Bench
    • Orifice Apparatus
    • Stopwatch
    • Vernier Caliper
    • Volume Measuring Cylinder

    IV. Procedure

    1. Position the reservoir across the channel on the top of hydraulic bench and level.
    2. Install the first orifice plate by tightening the knurled knots.
    3. Turn on the pump and open the bench valve gradually.
    4. Position the overflow tube where it can give a maximum head.
    5. Measure the flow rate by timed collection using stopwatch and measuring cylinder and note the
    reservoir head value.
    6. Repeat step 5 for different heads by adjusting the level of overflow tube.
    7. The procedure should also be repeated for the second orifice.

    VIII. Discussion of Results/Conclusion

    This was done by observing the flow of water through a hole in the side of a tank and collecting
    the discharge. The acquired findings were compared to known values for the coefficients determined
    from prior studies that were less impacted by mistakes. When the gate opening was impeded by debris
    or rather when the tail water level was raised, discharges were substantially lower than the calibration
    curve predicted. The impacts of sediment release, high canal velocities, fluctuating downstream water
    levels, and debris blockage of the orifice gate were investigated.
