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
