Losses in Pipes Apparatus.
Losses in Pipes Apparatus
• Recirculating design with supply tank & measuring tank.
• Non corrosive tanks & piping.
• Transparent Venturi meter & Orifice meter made in acrylic
DESCRIPRION:
The
Losses in Pipe friction apparatus is designed to experimentally measure
the coefficient of friction & head loss due to friction. Set up
consists of sets of pipe of different materials & pipe diameters.
Each pipe has a test length of 1m & pressure tappings are provided
to measure pressure head at two points. A differential mercury manometer
is used to measure the pressure difference between two points. Effect
of change in pipe diameter & pipe material can be studied. Water is
supplied from the sump tank by centrifugal pump & measuring tank is
provided to measure the water flow rate. The entire setup is mounted on a
strong steel frame.
EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES:
Determination of Major losses due to friction through pipes
Study effect of pipe diameter on head loss due to friction
Compare frictional factor for different pipe materials
