Installation technology: losses in pipe bends

In addition to pressure losses due to pipe friction, pipes through which water flows experience pressure losses at changes in pipe direction. In practice, various changes in pipe direction with different geometries are used in pipe networks.

• investigation of the pressure loss at pipe elements with different changes in pipe direction and materials
• pipe elements are commercially standard components in heating and sanitary engineering
• clear panel mounted on a sturdy, movable frame
• simply selection of the measuring sections via hose connection with quick-release couplings
• flow can be adjusted via valves
• flow measurement using rotameter
• portable device for differential pressure measurement with display
