Fitting Loss Training Panel

Product Description

Fitting Loss Training Panel          

Technical Description of Fitting Loss Training Panel         

Four measured sections are fitted to the panel, each comprising ten elbows and bends in different layouts. The overall length of each section is the same. It is possible to measure the pressure loss and to investigate the effects of material, surface roughness and flow rate. The water flows through a pipe with a valve and flow meter before passing through the measured sections. The section under test is connected with a hose.

Specification of Fitting Loss Training Panel          

• Investigation of pressure loss in pipe fittings such as elbows and bends
• 4 Different measuring sections, 10 elbows/bends
• Pressure measurement with annular chambers with digital differential pressure manometer
