Installation technology: losses in valves and fittings

Pressure losses occur in pipe systems as a result of friction and turbulence. In practice, the use of shut-off valves and fittings causes pressure losses that need to be taken into consideration when designing pipe networks.

• investigation of the pressure losses at various shut-off valves and fittings
• pipe elements are commercially standard components in heating and sanitary engineering
• clear panel mounted on a sturdy, movable frame
• pipe sections can be individually selected via ball valves
• water connections with quick-release couplings
• flow can be adjusted via valves
• flow measurement using rotameter
• differential pressure measurement via differential pressure meter with display
