Apparatus:
1. Orifice fitted to a tank
2. Piezometers
3. Meter scale
4. Calipers
5. Stop watch
6. Collecting tank fitted with a valve
Formulae:
The following formulae are employed to fine the coefficient of discharge of an orifice.
Theoretical discharge, Q,1r = a✓2gh

a =area of cross section of the orifice =

h =head of the liquid above the centre of the orifice in the tank
g = acceleration due to gravity
d =diameter of the orifice

Actual discharge, Qa = AH/T


A =Internal plan area of collecting tank
H =Rise of liquid in collecting tank
T =Time taken to collect liquid in the collecting tank
Coefficient of discharge, Cd= Qa/Qth

Procedure:
are
1. The diameter of the orifice and the internal plan dimensions of the collecting tank
measured.
2. The supply valve of the orifice tank is regulated and water is allowed to fill the orifice
tank to a constant head (h)
of
3. The outlet valve of the collecting tank is closed tightly and the time taken for HH "rise
water in the collecting tank is noted.
4. The above procedure ts repeated for different heads and the readings are tabulated.
