Abstract
The calibration of venturimeter pipe system periodically to be done to avoid the major and minor losses in the running condition.This paper work,based on the minor losses experiment conducted on venturimeter setup in the fluid mechanics & hydraulic machinery laboratory the values are taken accordingly and the calculations are performed.The minor loss coefficient associated with a venturimeter fitted with a pipe system is estimated.It is observed that the loss coefficient varies inversely with the increase in the Reynold’s number and when it is compared with the Actual discharge the loss coefficient decreases with the increase of Actual discharge.
