Pipe Work Energy Losses

Product Description

Description: This compact bench-top apparatus uses smooth, industry standardplastic pipe, commonly used in domestic and other small-bore water systems. Itworks with Digital Hydraulic Bench. The bench supports the apparatus andcirculates and measures the water flowing through it. This apparatus has asingle circuit with bends, pressure tappings and an expansion-contraction. Aball valve at the pipe exit controls water flow. The valve is downstream, so itdoes not cause any upstream turbulence. Each pressure tapping point in the pipeconnects to a piezo meter tube in the vertical panel of the apparatus. Duringexperiments, these tubes measure and compare pressure differences across thebends, expansion and contraction. A useful diagram on the apparatus shows themain dimensions of the pipework and fittings. It also shows the positions ofthe tappings and the tubes that they connect to. The product includes ahand-pump to adjust the datum of the piezometer tubes.Specification: Nett Dimension AndWeight: 980 mm wide x 800 mm high x 460 mm front to back and 12 kgApproximated Packed DimensionAnd Weight: 0.5 m3 and 20 kgBends and fittings: 90-degree mitre bend, elbow bend and large radius bend.
