Unit to Study the Pressure Drop of Compressible Fluids in Pipes

The Unit to Study the Pressure Drop of Compressible Fluids in Pipes, allows the study of the compressible fluid pressure drop, for example the air of a compressor, and the different flow conditions (laminar and turbulent) thanks to the distribution of fluid in pipes that have differents sections and fittings.

ATENG 11891 — Unit to Study the Pressure Drop of Compressible Fluids in Pipes

Unit mounted on an anodized aluminum frame with panels made of painted steel.

Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements similar to the real one.

• Test pipes of different diameters and lengths. External diameter: 10, 15 and 25 mm. Length: 1000 and 300 mm approx.
  Fourteen pressure taps to measure the pressure gradient along the pipes.
  An orifice plate.
  Five elbows where the pressure drop can be measured.
  A narrowing and a widening to compare pressure drops.
  Differential pressure digital indicator.
  Relief valve.
  Air pressure regulator to adjust the flow to operate in laminar and turbulent conditions.
