The state of the static, uncompressed fluid is described by the basic equation:
(1.1)
With z being the elevation of any point in the static fluid mass with constant specific
weight and p is the hydrostatic pressure at that point, the value of is the water
pressure gauge, it is in meters. We can have several uses from this equation:
1. Isobaric surface
The isobaric surface is the surface on which the pressure is the same. When the pressure at
the points on the opened sides is equal, the elevation of the points must be equal. That
means the surface is horizontal.
2. Fluid manometer
Apply the basic equation (1.1) to calculate the pressure at any point in a static fluid mass. If
at a point with elevation z0, the pressure is p0, then at the point of elevation z (see Figure
1.1), the pressure will be:
(1.2)
In which the 0-0 plane is the standard plane for comparison.
By measuring height h, we will determine the pressure p.
3. Calculate the specific weight of the liquid
If knowing both p0, p, z0 and z, we can calculate the specific weight of the liquid from the
formula:

2. Caculate to the specific weight of the fluid in the U-tubes
Consider to fluid has the specific weight , in static state in both branch i and i + 1 of the U-
tube. Pressure in the tank T can also be calculated:
(1.5)
Comparing this formula with formula (1.4a), we derive the formula for the specific weight
of this liquid
(1.6)
3. Calculate the error of the method of pressure measurement method
Applying the theory of error, from the formula (1.4b) we determine the relative error p of
the gauge pressure measurement:
(1.7)
Thus, the relative error of the gauge pressure measurement is the sum of the two relative
error values
The relative error due to the determination of the specific weight of the water:
Thus: (1.7)
Usually we take:
= 0,12% và L1 = L3 = 0,5mm
4. Calculate the error when calculating of the liquids in the U-tubes
From formula (1.7), we determine the relative error of specific weight measurement of the
liquid in the U-tubes
or: (1.8)
We aslo take = 0,12% và L1 = L3 = Li = Li+1 = 0,5mm

- Water from tank is pumped into tank flow into glass channel through valve (to
change discharge )
- The horizontal section of the glass channel is rectangle, in which bottom width B =
78mm.
- Broad crested - weir has a trapezoidal cross-section, with the sides angle is 45 °. Height
is a = 33.1 mm
Figure 3.3
- The water level after broad crested weir is changed by the valve located at the end of
the channel. Then the water is poured into the tank through the rectangular spillway
- Point gauge and vernier are mounted on the glass channel to determine channel
bottom level and water level in the glass channel.
III. Procedure:
1- Determine the location of the sections on the glass channel corresponding to points
1 to 6 in the order from the upstream to downstream levels as shown in Figure 3.4.
The distance between sections is as follows:
L1-2 = L2-3 = L4-5 = L5-6 = 20cm; L3-4 =3.7cm
2- Determine bottom of the channel from 1 to 6 by point gauge and vernier. Write
down the results in Table 1 (in the report).
3- Use the valve to adjust the flow and water level in the channel so that the
downstream water level is higher than the water level on the broad crested weir.
Figure 3.4
4- The flow in the channel is stabilized, using point gauge and vernier determine Zi of
water level from sections 1 to 6. Note down the results in Table 1 (in the report).
5- Keeping the discharge constant, adjust the water level at downstream by the valve
(this time the downstream water level is lower than the water level on the broad
7
crested weir). Wait for the water level in the glass channel to be stable, repeat the
procedure in step 4. Write down the results in Table 1 (in the report).
VI. Calculating:
1. Calculations of velocity:
The average velocity at section i:
Vi = Q/Ai (3.4)
In which: Q=0,48l/s
Ai is the area of the cross-section i: Ai = Bhi;
Channel width is B = 78mm;
Water level from the bottom of the channel: hi = Zđi - Zi; (see figure 3.3)
Notice:
- Check if the whole system is safe to operate
- Switch ON on switchboard.
- Observe the water level in the glass channel to prevent the overflow of water.
2. Calculations of velocity head:
The average velocity head at section i:
(3.5)
3. Investigate the anergy loss:
The energy loss between sections i and sections j was determined by applying the Bernoulli
equation (3.1) for these sections:
(3.6)
In which zi and zj are the water level at i section and j section; . where = 1
and avegare velocity head is given by (3.5).
Apply (3.6) to calculate the energy loss form section 1 to section 2 (hf1-2), from section
2 to section 3 (hf2-3), from section 3 to section 4 (hf3-4), from section 4 to section 5 (hf4-5),
from section 5 to section 6 (hf5-6). Calculate for cases of water level.
4. Draw water level lines in the channel:
Drawing the bottom of channel, broad crested - weir and water surface which are
ideal water level line and measured water level line on Graph 1 (drawing only one case
of water level downstream higher than the water level on the broad crested – weir). And
then drawing conclusions about water level changes

Where: = 90o
CD = 0.58
g = 9.81 m/s2
ho = ZCR – z
Where z is water level in channel, ZCR is the elevation of the crest of Vee-notch, ZCR
= 27.8 cm
The flow rate over the Vee-notch is regulated by inverter of pump on electric box
corresponding to the flow rate in the pipe. Inverter is adjusted at 8 different speeds
(1000rpm, 900rpm, 800rpm, 700rpm, 650 rpm, 600 rpm, 550 rpm, 500 rpm). The
difference of pressure between the test sections in the pipe are measured by reading the
water level in the tubes of manometer. Write the reading values into the Table 1.

2. Fully open the valve (4) by turning counterclockwise until it is no longer rotatable.
Note: If valve 4 does not open fully, when opening the valve 2 will cause break the
manometer tubes because of high pressure. Fully open the valve (2). On electric

frequency of 1000rpm – 800rpm (the first - the flow rate corresponding to 1000rpm,
the second - the flow rate corresponding to 900rm; The third - flow rate corresponds
to 800rpm)
. Wait for the water level in the channel to stabilize (the water level in point gauge
(5) is constant), read the following values:
- Water level in manometer tube (1)

2- Read water depth values on the ruler at the "0" of the vernier . Normally, the "0" line is between
two lines on the ruler, the actual value is in this middle.
3- Determine the odd part of the 1mm: Find a line on the vernier that coincides with a certain line
on the ruler. The odd part of the 1mm is the number of lines on the chain multiplied by 1 / 20mm.
EX: In step 2, the line "0" is found between the bars of 7.8 and 7.9 on the ruler. In Step 3, we see
that "15" on vernier coincides with a certain line on the Ruler.
The measured value is:
7,8 + 15 (1/20)/10 = 7,8 + 0,075 = 7, 875 cm.
