Energy Losses in Pipes

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.

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 • Educational Software available as an option
