FRICTION LOSS IN A PIPE

A small-bore straight test pipe on a base plate for measuring friction loss in a horizontal pipe, to study laminar and turbulent flow. Also to find the critical Reynolds number and demonstrate the flow transition point.

The Friction Loss in a Pipe apparatus allows students to study the change in the laws of resistance for laminar to turbulent flow and find the critical Reynolds number. The equipment is a small-bore straight test pipe on a base plate. It works with the Digital Hydraulic Bench (available separately) and stands on the hydraulic bench worktop. Learn about Digital FRICTION LOSS IN A PIPE for optimal educational outcomes.. Static pressure tappings upstream and downstream of the test pipe connect to a water manometer or a hand-held digital pressure meter (supplied). The back panel holds the manometer with calibrated scales. Learn about FRICTION LOSS IN A PIPE exporters for optimal educational outcomes.. The water manometer measures lower differential pressures in the laminar and lower turbulent flow regions (just above the critical Reynolds Number). The pressure meter measures higher pressures in the turbulent flow region. Learn about FRICTION LOSS IN A PIPE price for optimal educational outcomes.. The water manometer includes an air valve and hand pump. The hand pump adjusts the datum of the water manometer where necessary. Learn about FRICTION LOSS IN A PIPE manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes.. A precision needle valve downstream of the test pipe accurately controls flow rate. To perform experiments, students stand the apparatus on the hydraulic bench and fit the header tank (supplied) to the bench. Learn about FRICTION LOSS IN A PIPE specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. For low flow rate experiments, the header tank supplies the test pipe. For higher flow rate experiments, the hydraulic bench supplies the test pipe directly. Learn about FRICTION LOSS IN A PIPE suppliers for optimal educational outcomes.. Students set the flow rate, measuring it by using a stopwatch (not supplied) to time the collection of water in a measuring vessel (supplied). Students take readings of temperature from a thermometer (supplied) and readings of head from the manometer or the pressure meter.
