AZM8149 Energy Losses in Pipes Demonstration Apparatus equipment teaching Hydrodynamics Laboratory Equipment
Purpose – To allow students to measure the pressure drop of water passing through a hydraulically smooth circular pipe in detail and to verify the pipe friction equation.
ORDERING SPECIFICATION
- Vertical test pipe with pressure tappings at entry and exit
- Feed either direct from hydraulics bench or from constant head tank
- Water and mercury manometers supplied as standard
- Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench
This equipment allows the pressure drop of water passing through a hydraulically smooth circular pipe to be measured in detail and the pipe friction equation to be verified.
