Study of Pipe Fittings, Sudden Enlargement & Contraction Apparatus/Apparatus for determine Frictional losses in straight pipe, pipe fitting (Model No. HVO-FM-06)

Study of Pipe Fittings, Sudden Enlargement & Contraction Apparatus

Description

The set up consists of a 1/2 bend and elbow, a sudden expansion & sudden contraction fitting from 15mm to 25mm, ball valve and gate valve. Pressure tapings are provided at inlet and outlet of these fittings under test. A differential manometer fitted in the line gives pressure loss of individual fittings. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump etc. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stop watch.
