Flow Through Helical Coil Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CLE-13496
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Flow Through Helical Coil (Product ID: 13496) as part of its chemistry lab equipment range. It measures friction losses for water flowing through a helical coil, where the curved path sets up secondary circulation.
Quick Answer
When fluid moves round a bend, centrifugal force acts differently on faster and slower parts of the stream and drives a secondary circulation across the tube, which raises friction compared with a straight pipe. The stainless steel coil is 12 inches in diameter with 14 turns of tube about 21 mm OD and 16 mm ID. Water from a 50-litre stainless steel sump tank is circulated by an FHP pump through GI and PVC piping, the flow is read on a rotameter and the pressure drop across the coil on a manometer.
