Fluid Friction Measurements 

Fluid Friction Measurements 

CAT NO: DIDACTICNE4947

Fluid Friction Measurements  Description and Tender Specification:

Fluid Friction Measurements .
Self contained unit for the detailed study of fluid friction head  losses, which occur when an incompressible fluid flows through  pipes, fittings and flow metering devices.  
Substantial free standing frame and backboard support test  circuits comprising: smooth‐bore pipes of various diameter artificially roughened pipes 90 degree bend  ‐ 90 degree elbow  ‐ 45 degree elbow, 45 degree Y, 90 degree T  ‐ sudden enlargement sudden contraction  ‐ gate valve  ‐ globe valve ball valve  ‐ inline strainer  ‐ Perspex Venturi  ‐ Perspex orifice meter  ‐ Perspex pipe section with a Pitot static tube  
Includes a GRP service module with volumetric flow  measurement, pump, starter, mercury and water manometers.  
Special features:  ‐ suitable for studying Reynolds' numbers from 10^3 to nearly 10^5  ‐ a unique system of isolating valves, ported quick release  manometer connection valves and self‐sealing pressure tappings  ensure fast accurate results  ‐ computer aided learning program available  
User instruction manual provides installation, commissioning  and maintenance data, together with student exercises.  
A wide range of measurements, demonstrations and training
exercises are possible with the equipment:  
Confirming the relationship between head loss due to fluid friction  and velocity for flow of water.  
Determining the head loss associated with flow through a variety of  standard pipe fittings Determining the relationship between pipe friction coefficients and  Reynolds' number for flow through a pipe with roughened bore.  
Demonstrating the application of differential head devices in the measurement of flow rate and velocity  
Providing practical training on the use of manometers.  
Enhancing understanding of the hydraulics principles involved through the use of computer software.
