Cavitation In Venturi (Product Code: SLE/EFM/13) is a self-contained, mobile teaching unit that produces clearly visible cavitation in a Venturi so students can watch vapour bubbles form and collapse while taking flow and pressure readings. It gives mechanical, chemical and civil engineering students hands-on practice with the continuity equation and Bernoulli’s equation in a setting where the theory visibly breaks down. The unit is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, an engineering lab equipment manufacturer serving colleges and polytechnics.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Construction | Robust frame holding all components; self-contained, mobile unit |
| Main components | Water tank, electric pump, flow-control valve, flow meter and Venturi |
| Pressure measurement | Pressure gauges upstream of the Venturi and at the Venturi throat |
| Temperature | Thermometer showing the temperature of the water in the tank |
| Safety features | Pump with electrical protection; water tank with splash cover to prevent spillage |
| Learning outcomes | Calculating flow and pressure, different methods of creating cavitation, and causes of error |
With the pump running, students open the flow-control valve step by step and read the flow meter together with the gauges upstream of the Venturi and at its throat. As velocity through the throat rises, throat pressure falls until it reaches the vapour pressure of the water and a cloud of bubbles appears. Comparing the measured pressure drop with the value predicted by the continuity and Bernoulli equations shows where simple theory holds and where losses and cavitation take over. Because vapour pressure depends on temperature, the tank thermometer reading is recorded with every set of results.
Classes can explore more than one way of bringing on cavitation and then discuss the sources of error in their calculations. Keep the splash cover in place while running, top up the tank with clean water, and let the pump stop before adjusting pipework. As lab equipment for college India departments, the unit wheels between rooms, so one set can serve several practical groups.
Cavitation In Venturi is part of the hydraulics range made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a private limited company in Ambala, Haryana, whose products carry the ScienceLab brand. For details of the company’s background and other product lines, visit our company profile.

More hydraulics teaching units are listed in our Fluid Mechanics category.
Does the unit need an external water supply or hydraulic bench?
No. It carries its own water tank, electric pump, flow-control valve and flow meter on one frame, so it works as a self-contained unit.
Where is pressure measured?
Pressure gauges read the pressure upstream of the Venturi and at the Venturi throat.
Why is there a thermometer on the tank?
Water temperature affects its vapour pressure and therefore when cavitation starts, so the thermometer lets students record it with each result.
Is it safe to run in a classroom?
The pump includes electrical protection and the tank has a splash cover to prevent spillage. Normal lab supervision still applies.
What electrical supply does the pump need?
Supply voltage is not given in our current product details; contact us with your local mains supply so we can confirm.
Can a calibration certificate be provided for the gauges?
Please discuss certificate requirements with us at the time of enquiry through our contact page.
Do you supply universities outside India?
Yes, we handle orders for institutions in India and international markets; include the destination in your enquiry.
