Product Code : SCL-CELE-14018
This equipment is a closed-circuit system designed to
conduct a detailed experimental study of fluid flow losses. It allows for the
measurement of both friction head losses (major losses) through pipes
and the minor head losses caused by common pipe fittings and flow
metering devices.
1. Pipe Test Sections (Major Losses)
The setup is built for comparing head loss across different
pipe characteristics.
- Pipes: Five
separate test sections are connected in parallel.
- Smooth
Pipes: Four pipes with smooth internal bores of
varying sizes.
- Roughened
Pipe: One pipe with an artificially roughened bore to
study the effect of increased friction factor.
- Control: A valve
arrangement allows for operating and isolating one pipe at a time.
- Size
Range: Internal Diameter (ID) sizes are in a range starting as
low as 4.5 mm.
2. Pipe Fittings (Minor Losses)
The apparatus includes a wide array of fittings to quantify
the energy loss they induce.
- Fittings
(11 Total):
- Bends: 90
degree bend (small) and 90 degree bend (large).
- Elbows: 90
degree elbow and 45 degree elbow.
- Junctions: 90
degree mitre, 45 degree Y-junction, and 90 degree T-junction.
- Geometry
Changes: Sudden enlargement and sudden contraction.
- Valves: Gate
valve, ball valve, and globe valve.
3. Flow Metering and Instrumentation
The system provides tools for both flow measurement and loss
quantification.
- Flow
Meters: Includes a Venturimeter and an Orifice
for calibration and comparative loss study.
- Differential
Pressure Transducer (DPT): Measures the differential
pressure across components.
- Range: 0 to
1000 mm of water column (wc).
- Output: 4–20
mA (standard signal).
4. Purpose and Key Experiments
The main objective is to verify fundamental hydraulic loss
equations.
- Darcy-Weisbach
Equation: Experimentally determine the friction factor for
all pipes.
- Minor
Loss Coefficients: Determine the loss coefficient (K) for
each of the eleven listed fittings.
- Flow
Meter Calibration: Determine the Coefficient of Discharge (Cd)
for the Venturimeter and Orifice.
