A space-saving vertical panel that works with Gravimetric orVolumetric Hydraulic Benches for easy installation

Includes different valves, pipes and fittings to show losses

Includes experiments on roughened pipes

Shows laminar and turbulent flow

Uses Bernoulli™s equation

Shows how to use Venturi and orifice meters to measure flow

Includes a traversing Pitot tube to measure velocity profile

Fluid Friction Apparatus allows students to study flow, flowmeasurement techniques and losses in a wide variety of pipes and fittings.

The equipment has three water circuits with instruments,pipes and pipe system components.

These allow students to examine and compare the differentcomponent characteristics.

A hydraulic bench (Gravimetric) or Volumetric, availableseparately) supplies the circuit with a controlled flow of water.

A space-saving vertical panel holds all the parts for easyuse. To measure pressure loss across components, students use a piezometer setand differential pressure gauge (included).

To perform experiments students record the temperature ofwater in the hydraulic bench and set the hydraulic bench to pump water througha circuit. They measure pressure losses across instruments or components. Thehydraulic bench gives an external flow rate for reference and comparison.

The flow measurement instruments show students the commonmethods of measuring water flow. They also give applications of the steady flowenergy equation (Bernoulli™s equation). Students use a Venturi meter and anorifice plate meter and compare the losses of each. They also find the lossesin a rapid enlargement.

The equipment also includes a Pitot-static tube. Bytraversing the Pitot across the pipe diameter, students can find the velocityprofile and flow coefficients. They also find the relationship between the flowrate and pressure differential. An artificially roughened pipe allows studentsto study friction factor at different Reynolds numbers, covering theinteresting transitional flow from laminar to turbulent. They can compareresults to those predicted by Nickuradse™s results and a Moody chart.
