Venturi Tube

Named for Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi, our Venturi Tube effectively shows that as a fluid moves through a narrowing pipe, the fluid speeds up and pressure is reduced. Highlighting Bernoulli’s Principle, the Venturi tube is a great introduction to basic concepts in Fluid Dynamics. Our Venturi Tube is designed for ease of use in the classroom. The open J-tubes allow you to add liquid directly, rather than having to fill from the main tube. Setup and cleanup are a breeze. The wider main tube allows for a variety of air sources to be used such as a hair drier, canned air, or an electric duster. The unit is large enough to clamp effectively to a ring stand and remain visible for the classroom. The Venturi effect is an important concept that is utilized across many industries. Mechanisms developed for aircraft, the medical industry, heating and cooling systems, and water treatment all take advantage of the Venturi Effect to perform their functions.
