CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -2- Scenario Imagine... Your company requires you to replace a section of a process line requiring the equipment sizing for new pumps and other fluid handling devices. Chemical engineers need to know how to calculate the pressure drop through a piping system using friction factors and minor loss coefficients in order to fully design a chemical plant. Whether the plant is processing liquids, gases, or even solids, there will be piping, valves, pumps, compressors, and fittings, all of which will produce frictional energy losses that build up the amount of electrical power needed to drive the various downstream process units. Figure 1: Piping network [18] Relevant Course Content in the 2 nd Year CHBE Curriculum Transport Phenomenon (CHBE 251) ----- Friction factor, Moody diagram, Reynolds number, Navier-Stokes, Bernoulli Associated Keywords/Phrases: Bulk velocity, empirical, flow rates, friction factor, laminar, Moody diagram, pressure drop, relative roughness, Reynolds number, turbulent, viscosity, minor losses
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -3- General Instructions In this experiment, students will learn concepts associated with fluid flow through piping network with various pipe fittings, mechanical pumps and valves. There are 2 parts to this experiment; 1) flow through pipes and 2) draining tank. Students must read the entire lab manual, including the figures and appendices before coming to the lab. This ensures that students will have a clear understanding of the theories behind the calculations and procedures that need to be carried out in the lab. 1. Learning Objectives Students must clearly understand the goals of the experiment, principles that will be demonstrated, instruments to be used and data that needed to be collected and calculated before coming into the lab. 2. Background This section presents background information required to achieve the objectives of the experiment. Students must be capable of using the information provided in this manual to justify whether the experiment is running as expected. Furthermore, the calculations required, as well as the nature of the data needed for those calculations, should be clearly understood. 3. Apparatus Flow diagram, apparatus and equipment specification are provided in this section. Students must study the experimental setup prior to coming to the lab. Before starting the experiment, students should trace through the apparatus to better understand the system and the operation of the instrument. Appendix D provides useful instructions on how to use a dial caliper. Students are expected to know which direction is for closing and opening valves. In addition, students should be aware that a gear pump can never run dry eg. no fluid flow. It is recommended that students bring their own copy of the flow diagram for referencing when following the procedure. 4. Procedure The step-by-step procedure for each experiment is given in this section. Students are expected to understand the reason behind each action. For safety reason, the “wet floor” sign must be placed on the ground to inform others. Each group should bring two laptops to the lab. This will allow the raw data to be entered into the Excel spreadsheet and most of the calculations to be completed before leaving the lab. Two TAs are available from 3-6 pm in Rm.4.06 to assist students with the calculations. 5. Data Analysis The required calculations, graphs and thought questions are listed and must be presented and discussed in the lab report.

CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -4- Part 1: Flow through Pipes 1.1 Learning Objectives Watch Video Clip Fluids Introduction (0 2.34 min) Investigate the effect of different pipe diameters, materials and elbows on major and minor head losses Apply Darcy-Weisbach equation to calculate friction factor Compare experimental graph of friction factor against Reynolds number with Moody diagram obtained from literature Compare pipe roughness calculated from Colebrook equation and theoretical pipe roughness obtained from Moody diagram Apply Bernoulli principle to determine K-loss coefficient and compare experimental K-loss coefficient to the theoretical one Observe laminar and turbulent flow using dye injection 1.2 Background Watch Video Clip Fluids Introduction (2.34 8.44 min) 1. Bernoulli Equation The Navier-Stokes equations are a set of equations that describ the motion of a fluid derived from the basic principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The equations are based on the assumption that the fluid flow has properties of being continuous, incompressible, and with a constant viscosity. Another assumption is that gravity is the only substantial body force. Equation 1 shows the Navier-Stokes equations in the vector form [17] . ? ( 𝜕𝑣 𝜕𝑡 + 𝑣 ∙ ∇𝑣 ) = −∇? + 𝜇∇ 2 v ⃑ + ρg (1) where ρ = fluid density [kg/m 3 ] 𝑣 = flow velocity vector [m/s] t = time [s] p = static pressure [Pa] μ = fluid viscosity [Pa s] g = gravitational acceleration [m/s 2 ] = gradient operator
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -5- By neglecting frictional losses and thermal changes, the Navier-Stokes equations can be used to derive Bernoulli ’s equation. This equation is a mathematical expression of the principle of conservation of energy for steady, frictionless, incompressible, and inviscid fluid flow, as shown in Equation 2. ? ? + 𝑣 2 2 + 𝑧? = 𝐻 = 𝐶????𝑎?? (2) where H = amount of pressure a fluid exerts on its containment [m 2 /s 2 ] z = elevation [m] Bernouilli’s equation can be expressed in terms of energy per unit mass as above, but is most often computed in units of length by dividing Equation 2 by gravity ( g ), as shown in Equation 3. The pressure or head of a fluid is modified by its static pressure, elevation, and dynamic pressure or velocity. While fluids moving at different velocities can have the same head, the faster fluid will have either smaller static pressure or be at a higher elevation. The equation states that the sum of the pressure head, velocity head (kinetic energy per unit weight of flowing fluid), and elevation head is constant. ? ?? + 𝑣 2 2? + 𝑧 = 𝐻′ = 𝐶????𝑎?? (3) where ? ?? = Head due to local static pressure 𝑣 2 2? = Head due to local dynamic pressure 𝑧 = Head due to elevation 2. Major and Minor Head Losses Although Bernoulli’s equation works well for computing the pressure head of a system, it is an idealized model that does not consider irreversible energy losses that occur during any real process. The irreversible loss of energy due to friction, heat transfer, shaft, or viscous work is called head loss for fluid systems. The Bernoulli equation can be adjusted to account for frictional losses. Equation 4 expresses the relationship for conservation of energy of a fluid flowing between points 1 and 2 with losses. ? 1 −? 2 ?? + 𝑣 1 2 −𝑣 1 2 2? + 𝑧 1 − 𝑧 2 = ℎ ? + ℎ ? (4)
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -6- Head losses are classified as either major losses (h f ) or minor loses (h m ). Major losses are due to wall shear stress. They can be calculated by applying Bernouilli’s equation a cross a straight section of pipe, taken in the form of the Darcy-Weisback formula, as shown in Equation 5. ? = ? ( 𝐿 ? ) 𝑣 2 2? (5) where h f = major loss [m] f = friction factor d = diameter of pipe [m] L = length of pipe [m] The minor losses (h m ) are due to local geometry changes in a pipe network, and are calculated from Equation 6. As fluids turn corners, vortices may result, reducing the amount of energy in the stream. Values of the minor loss coefficient, K, are dimensionless and depend on the size and shape of the pipe, and can be found in CHBE 251 course notes. Select minor loss factors are presented in Table 1. ? = ? 𝑣 2 2? (6) Table 1: K factors for Different Pipe Elements Pipe Head Loss Source K Loss Coefficient 90 o elbow 2 45 o elbow 0.39 Sharp entrance 0.5 Sharp exit 1 Couplings 0.1 100% open ball valve 1.3 100% open gate valve 0.1 75% open gate valve 1 50% open gate valve 4 25% open gate valve 11 The terms major and minor describe the type of head loss rather than the quantity. In some cases, major head losses can be ignored while minor head losses contribute greatly to the amount of energy loss in the system. Combining Equations 4, 5, and 6 yields Equation 7.

𝐿 𝑖 ? 𝑖 ? ?=1 + ∑ ? ? ? ?=1 ) (7) where K j = minor loss coefficient for pipe feature j Figure 2: Flow through pipe model with gate valve For flow through pipe experiment, the pipe is parallel to the floor as shown in Figure 2 so z 1 and z 2 are equivalent. In addition, the pipes are constant in diameter so v 1 and v 2 are identical. Thus Equation 7 can be further simplified to Equation 8. ? 1 −? 2 ?? = ℎ ? + ℎ ? = 𝑣 2 2? (∑ ? ? 𝐿 𝑖 ? 𝑖 ? ?=1 + ∑ ? ? ? ?=1 ) (8) If there are no elbows, pipe fittings or valves, the minor loss or h m term can be eliminated from Equation 8 to obtain Equation 9. ? 1 −? 2 ?? = ℎ ? = 𝑣 2 2? (∑ ? ? 𝐿 𝑖 ? 𝑖 ? ?=1 ) (9) 3. Friction Factor The friction factor used to calculate the major losses is dependent upon the Reynolds number, defined by Equation 10, which indicates either laminar or turbulent flow by expressing the inertial to viscous force ratio [17] . The friction factor is defined by Equation 11 for laminar flow and Equation 12 (Colebrook Equation) for turbulent flow. ?? = ?𝑣? ?𝑖?? 𝜇 (10) ? = 64 ?? ??? ?? < 2100 (11) ? = 1 √? = −2??? 10 ( 𝜀 3.7? ?𝑖?? + 2.51 ??√? ) ??? ?? ≥ 2100 (12) 1 2 z

Moody Diagram The theoretical friction factor for a pipe of known diameter can alternatively be read off the Moody diagram using the calculated Reynolds number and the roughness, , from the pipe manufacturer’s specifications. The Moody Diagram is shown in Figure 3, below and a larger version of it is provided in Appendix B for calculations. Figure 3: Friction factors for fluid flow in pipes The mean velocity of a fluid can be found from the volumetric flow rate and cross sectional area of the pipe. This is given by Equation 13. ? = 𝑣𝐴 𝑝?𝑝? (13) where Q = volumetric flow rate [m 3 /s] v = mean velocity [m/s] A pipe = cross sectional area of the pipe [m 2 ] 1.3 Apparatus

CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -10- Figure 5: Flow through pipes experiment schematics The main feature of this experimental apparatus shown in Figure 5 is the seven pipes that are positioned in parallel. Five of these pipes (L-2 to L-6) are used to measure the head loss across 1 meter of piping that vary in diameter and material of construction. Venturi meter is located in L-1. Pipeline L-1 is made of clear acrylic and accepts the injection of a dye to facilitate the observation of flow through the pipe; manometer tubes (M-1 and M-2) allows for the visualization of the pressure difference across a flow element. Inner diameter of acrylic pipe is 0.750” and diameter of throat section is 0.375”. Ball valves are incorporated throughout the apparatus to guide the flow. After flowing through one or more of the seven main paths, the flow can be returned to the water reservoir to form a closed system. This apparatus is equipped with a pump, two rotameters of different scales (R- 1 and R-2) and eighteen quick connect ports (P-xx). Pressure is mainly measured by connecting a DP cell to any two of the quick connect ports.
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -11- 1.4 Procedure Watch Video Clip Part 1: Flow through Pipes (2.30 7.21 min) Trace through the pipe arrangement before conducting the experiment. Study each valve and rotameter, and ensure you understand which direction is open and which direction is close. In this experiment, water flowing through pipes L-1 and L-2 cannot be recycled back to the tanks since acrylic pipe L-1 is used for dye injection and steel pipe L-2 contains rust. As a result, pipes L-1 and L-2 are set to the drain to avoid contaminating the water inside the tanks and fouling of the pipes. 1.4.1 Removal of Rusty Water and Pipe Inspection for Leaks Station A: 1. Open tank lids and check the water quality. Ensure that the water in both tanks is clear. If the water is unclear, follow steps below. If the water is clear, go to step 2. Open V-13 to drain water. Close V-13 and fill the tank with water by opening V-4. Consult the TA, if necessary. Open V-4 to fill the tanks to overflow marks. U se brushes to stir rusty water and clean the wall of both tanks to drain out the rust. Open V-13 to drain water. Repeat above steps many times until the water is clear. Buckets can be used to quickly remove rusty water from the tanks. Close V-13 and fill up the tanks with water to the overflow marks. Station B: Check the water quality. Ensure that the water in the tank is clear. If the water is unclear, follow steps below. If the water is clear, go to step 2. Open V-13 to drain water. Close V-13 and fill the tank with water using the hose connected to the tap (V-4) near the sink. Consult the TA, if necessary. Repeat above steps many times until the water is clear. Close V-13 and fill up the tank with water to the overflow mark. 2. Open V-7 and close V-3, V-5,V-6, and V-8 to V-12 such that water flows only through 3/4” steel tube. 3. Ensure that the water outlet is directed to the drain. Set V-2 to drain to prevent rust from the steel line entering the water tanks. 4. Set V-1 to R-1 to direct water flow towards rotameter 1. 5. Open R-1 and close R-2.
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -12- 6. Check the water level in the tank(s). If necessary, add water by opening V- 4. Once the water level in the tank(s) are close V-4. Switch on the power bar to start the pump. When necessary, open V- 4 2) to maintain water levels in the tanks. 7. Turn the pump off to collect water in the tanks and set the rotameter to a reading of 0. Open valves V-5 to V- 12, 1/2” ball valve and 1/2” gate valve so that water flows through all pipes. Make sure V-2 is set to drain. Switch on the power bar to start the pump. 8. Allow the system to run for 3 minutes. 9. Check for any leaks in the piping network and set V-2 to recycle. Ensure that V-4 is closed when the water level in the tank reaches the overflow point. 1.4.2 Pipe Diameter and Length Measurements 10. Prepare a table similar to Table A1 to enter your measurements into UBC lab data book. 11. Measure pipe inner diameters and record them in Table A1. Refer to Appendix D for instructions on how to use dial calipers. 12. Measure pipe lengths and record them in Table A1. Measure from the center of one DP cell port to the center of the other port using measuring tape. Refer to Table A1 for DP cell ports involved in every pipe segment. 1.4.3 Flow through Pipes of Different Materials and Diameters IMPORTANT! Always have one line open to avoid pressure build up in the system. Before closing a valve, open another valve. Your objective is to determine the pressure drop across pipes of different material and different diameters. To do this you will use the DP Cell as specified in the instructions below. Note, the ports P-xx will vary based on which pipe you re testing. Connect the DP cell to ports P-xx and P-xx. Zero the DP cell by pressing the MIN/MAX and HOLD buttons at the same time. The display should read “ZERO IN PROGRESS” while the bottom line counts down from 9. Make sure the DP cell is at the same level as the ports. If the DP Cell displays a reading which is negative or very large, repeat above step to zero the DP Cell again. Note: If the DP Cell displays “ZERO RANGE ERROR”, it means that the new zero value generated is outside ±5% of the original factory calibrated zero. Make sure there are no air bubbles in the lines and the DP cell is at the same level as the ports to avoid this error. For each pipe indicated below, write procedural steps which specify the following: Which valves will be open or closed before you begin (think about where water will flow) Where the DP cell will be connected

Calculate the percentage difference between pressure drops measured using manometer and DP cell for pipe L-1 (as a percentage of the DP cell value). Part 2: Draining Tank 2.1 Learning Objectives Watch Video Clip Fluids Introduction (0 2.34 min) Study the effect of different piping configurations and gate valve percent opening on draining time Determine aggregate and velocity correction factors to predict draining time and compare the predicted time to the actual draining time 2.2 Background 1. Pressure Drop z
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -17- Figure 6: Draining tank model Figure 6 shows a reservoir tank filled with a constant level of water such that flow out through an exit pipe is at steady state and can be modeled using the engineering Bernoulli equation. The velocity in the tank (v 1 ) can be set to zero due to the large cross-sectional area of the tank. By choosing the height of the exit pipe (z 2 ) to be zero, Equation 13 and Equation 8 can be combined to yield Equation 14. From Equation 14, the pressure drop (P 1 -P 2 ) of the draining system from the liquid surface in the tank to the point where the water leaves the sharp exit (K = 1) at the end of the pipe can be computed. In order to solve for P 2 , P 1 is set to atmospheric pressure as this is the pressure at the interface with the atmosphere. ? 1 −? 2 ?? + 𝑧 1 = 8? 2 ?? 2 ? ?𝑖?? 4 (1 + ∑ ? ? 𝐿 𝑖 ? 𝑖 ? ?=1 + ∑ ? ? ? ?=1 ) (14) Like steady-state flow models, which are important to understand for continuous processes, unsteady state draining models are essential for chemical engineers to design large- scale batch draining processes. 2. Volumetric Flow Rate In order to calculate the time required to drain the tank, one must find the relationship between the outflow rate and tank height. The formula for the outflow rate is shown in Equation 15, below. V represents the volume of water remaining in the tank. Because the volume of water is decreasing during the draining, a negative sign is placed at the front of the equation to produce a positive flow rate, Q . Q=- ∂V ∂t (15) Since the cross sectional area of the reservoir tank and the area of the exit pipe are both constant, the volumetric outflow rate can be alternatively expressed by Equation 16, by factoring out the constant areas. Note the signs in this equation. This equation can be perceived as a mass balance of the overall system, with the middle term being the accumulation and the last term being the outflow. Q=-A tank ∂z ∂t = 𝐴 𝑝?𝑝? 𝑣 (16) where A tank = cross sectional area of the tank, [m 2 ] z = height of water in the tank, [m] 2
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -18- 3. Velocity Correction Factor It can be determined from the energy balance that the potential energy in the tank is equal to the kinetic energy of the stream flowing out through the pipe. Equation 17 expresses this theory, providing an expression for v , which is combined with Equation 16 to produce Equation 18. 1 2 𝑣 2 = ?𝑧 (17) −𝐴 𝑡𝑎?? 𝜕𝑧 𝜕𝑡 = 𝐴 𝑝?𝑝? 𝑣 = 𝐴 𝑝?𝑝? (?√2?𝑧 ) (18) where c is the velocity correction factor, which can be solved under a variety of height conditions. Under ideal assumption, fluid flows with constant velocity over the entire cross- section of the pipe. However, the real flow has non-uniform velocity distribution due to the friction along the sidewall of the pipe. Thus the velocity correction factor is introduced to account for the non-ideality in viscid flows. 4. Predicted Draining Time The mass balance can be rearranged into Equation 19, − ∫ ?𝑧 √𝑧 𝑧 𝑧 ? = 𝐴 ?𝑖?? 𝐴 𝑡𝑎?𝑘 ?√2? ∫ ?? 𝑡 0 (19) and can be integrated to give Equation 20, which is the model for the height of the water in the tank with respect to time. 𝑧 = (√𝑧 0 ?𝑡 2 ) 2 (20) k in this case is the dimensionless aggregate correction factor. The aggregate correction factor is used to relate volumetric flow rate and tank height to determine predicted drain time while accounting for losses in the system. 5. Aggregate Correction Factor Equation 21 shows the relationship between the velocity correction factor, c and the aggregate correction factor, k . ? = 𝐴 ?𝑖?? 𝐴 𝑡𝑎?𝑘 ?√2? = ? 𝐴 𝑡𝑎?𝑘 √𝑧 (21) Equation 21 also shows how k is computed using the tank water level and volumetric flow rate. Another method of calculating k begins by rearranging the equation such that Q is

CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -20- Figure 8: Drainage experiment piping configurations Figure 9: Drainage experiment schematic The experimental apparatus shown in Figure 7 consists of a piping setup that leads to a catch basin and is fed by a level controlled holding tank. There are two different piping configurations used in the experiment. The first configuration consists of several different pieces of piping with the same inner diameter (ID), a variety of 90° bends and 45° bends, and a gate valve (V2) as depicted by Figure 8. The second configuration is a simple straight pipe with a gate valve attached. The piping systems attach to the base of the feed tanks by screwing into a union that follows the stainless steel ball valve (V1). The tanks also have four portholes on their sides that allow for water level control. There are four possible steady state levels, controlled by valves V3 to V6 (Figure 9). The flow rate into the feed tank is controlled by a ball valve, V7 on a pump hose. During operation the piping system and level control overflow ports drain into a water reservoir on the floor. Inside the water reservoir is a RIDGID 1/6 HP Submersible Utility Pump with a flow rate of 3000 GPH that discharges through a ¾” garden hose. The garden hose is routed back up to the feed tank to complete the water cycle. The water in the system is simple tap water.
CHBE 264 Manual Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents -21- 2.4 Procedure Watch Video Clip Part 2: Draining Tank (2.10 5.41 min) Ensure you have placed the “wet floor” sign on the ground to let others know to be careful. There are two stations for draining tank experiment with different piping configurations. The piping arrangement of drainage station 1 is shown in Figure 8 on the left and drainage station 2 is on the right. The following procedure will be performed at the same time in both stations; two students in each station. Ensure that all the valves V1 to V7 are closed. Prepare tables similar to tables A9 - A12 and A15-A18 to enter your measurements into UBC lab data book. 2.4.1 Piping Arrangement and Start-up 1. Take an inventory of the piping (measuring the length) and the pipe fittings. Measure the inner diameters of the tank and the outflow pipe and record them. 2. Turn the gate valve (V2) clockwise until it is fully closed. 1. Turn the gate valve counterclockwise until it is fully open, counting the number of complete rotations. 2. Using the total number of rotations, calculate how many turns are needed for the valve to be 25% open (i.e. if fully open is 4 turns, then 75% open will be 3 turns). 3. Check to ensure that the water level in the catch basin (the basin on the floor) is higher than half the height of the pump. If the water level is too low, add water to the catch basin. 4. Close the ball valve V1 at the base of the tank. The ball valves for this apparatus turn 90 degrees from open to close. Ensure you understand which direction is open and which direction is closed. 5. Open the first side port using valve V at 25% of the tank height. 6. Ensure the pump hose to the feed tank is securely connected at both ends. 7. Plug the pump into an electrical outlet to turn the pump on. 2.4.2 Pressure Drop Model 1. With valves V3 and V7 fully open and valves V1-V2 and V4-V6 closed, allow the feed tank to fill until water flows through the first overflow port (V3). 2. Close V7 and V3. 3. Record the tank water level and open V7, V1 and V2 (100% open) so that flow in is equal to flow out and the system is at steady state by maintaining the tank water level at the same height.

Dial calipers consist of 15 parts: inside and outside measuring jaws, reference edge, dial, lock screw, slider, main scales in centimetres and inches, beam, fixed and sliding jaws, bezel clamp, dial indicators, thumb screw, and depth probe as depicted in Figure D1. The inside jaws are used for inside measurements such as inner diameter while the outside jaws can be used to measure outer diameter, space width, length and object thickness. The outside jaw located at the end of the calipers is fixed to the beam and known as fixed jaw. However, the sliding jaw attached to the slider is mobile. The thumb screw is used to adjust the opening of the measuring jaws and the position of the slider. The lock screw allows the measuring jaws to be secured in place for reading. The depth probe is stored inside the beam and is used to determine hole depth. The two main scales are located on the beam for coarse reading which can be obtained from the reference edge. Conversely, the dial indicators display fine reading; red indicator shows reading in millimetres while black indicator shows reading in inches. The dial indicators rotate inside the dial when the slider is moved along the beam. The bezel clamp locks the calibration setting to ensure precise reading. Figure D1: Fowler Dial Calipers D1 In this experiment, Fowler 6”/150 mm inch/metric reading dial caliper 52-030-006 is used to measure the inner diameter of the outflow pipe for the draining tank experiment.

CHBE 264 Manual Appendix D Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents D-3 2. Ensure that the outside measuring jaws are wider than the object 3. Place the object in between the outside measuring jaws and turn the thumb screw in the clockwise direction until the jaws touch the edges of the object 4. Turn the lock screw to lock the measuring jaws in place 5. Remove the object and read the value b) Inside Measurement 1. Hold the calipers by the beam and use your thumb to turn the thumb screw in the clockwise direction to zero the reading 2. Ensure that the dial indicators are stopped at the 0 mark when the measuring jaws are fully closed 3. Place the inside measuring jaws into the object and turn the thumb screw in the counter- clockwise direction until the jaws touch the edges of the hole 4. Turn the lock screw to lock the measuring jaws in place 5. Remove the object and read the value c) Step Measurement 1. Place the sliding jaws on the upper step of the object and turn the thumb screw until the fixed jaws reach the bottom step (refer to Figure D2) 2. Ensure that the head of the calipers is perpendicular to the top step 3. Turn the lock screw to lock the measuring jaws in place 4. Remove the object and read the value d) Depth Measurement 1. Position the depth probe such that the probe is perpendicular to the bottom of the hole and flat against the internal wall of the hole (refer to Figure D2) 2. Gradually turn the thumb screw until the end of the beam reaches the top of the hole 3. Turn the lock screw to lock the measuring jaws in place 4. Remove the object and read the value Reading the Dial Calipers The main scales are divided into 10 subscales as illustrated in Figure D3. Each increment represents 0.100 cm and 0.100 inch for centimeter and inch scales, respectively. However, an increment in dial scales is equivalent to 0.02 mm and 0.001 inch for red and black indicators,

CHBE 264 Manual Appendix D Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents D-4 respectively. After one complete rotation of the black dial indicator, the reference edge will move by 1 increment or 0.100 inch. In contrary, one complete rotation of the red dial indicator will move the reference edge by 2 increments or 0.200 cm. The combination of the main and dial scales provides a precise reading with 3 decimal places. Figure D3: Main and Dial Scales in Centimeters and Inches Example Reading from Figure D3: a) Reading in Inches 1. Read the main scale. The reference edge is in between 1 and 2 inches, so the first digit is 1 or 1.000 inch. 0.100 inch 0.100 cm 0.02 mm 0.001 inch

CHBE 264 Manual Appendix D Experiment D: Fluids Revised on 11 February 2022 Back to Table of Contents D-5 The reference edge passes the second subscale, so the second digit is 2 or 0.200 inch. 2. Read the dial. The black dial is in between 10 and 20, so the third digit is 1 or 0.010 inch. The black dial is at the eighth subscale, so the fourth digit is 8 or 0.008 inch. Therefore, the inch reading is 1.218 inch. b) Reading in Centimeters 1. Read the main scale. The reference edge is in between 3 and 4 cm, so the first digit is 3 or 3.000 cm. The reference edge is on the first subscale, so the second digit is 0 or 0.000 cm.* 2. Read the dial. The red dial is in between 0.9 and 0, so the third digit is 9 or 0.090 cm. The red dial is at the second subscale, so the fourth digit is 4 or 0.004 cm. Therefore, the centimetre reading is 3.094 cm. *For the main scale only: If the reference edge is on the scale mark (eg. 1.000 cm) and has not completely passed that mark, you must read the number from the scale mark prior to the scale mark that the reference edge is currently on (eg. 0.900 cm).
