NARRATIVE
            The Venturi Tube is used to demonstrate Bernoulli's principle of the relationship between pressure and area of a moving fluid. The tube is equipped with 3 manometers to indicate relative pressures. The pressure at the constricted section is less than at the larger diameter sections. A fitting which accepts a hose for compressed air is provided at one end of the device.
