Study of Pipe Fittings, Sudden Enlargement & Contraction App

Product 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.

Experiments

• To determine loss of head in the fittings at various water flow rates
• To measure the loss coefficient for the pipe fittings

Utilities Required

• Electric supply 0.5 kW, 220V AC, Single Phase
• Water supply Tap water connection ” BSP Distilled water @ 60 liters (optional)
• Floor Area with Drain facility

Comprehensive Pipe Fitting Experiments

The apparatus allows users to experimentally investigate the behavior of fluids when passing through sudden changes in pipe diameter. This helps in understanding energy losses and flow characteristics essential for fluid dynamics studies.


Durable Stainless Steel Construction

Crafted entirely from stainless steel, the equipment resists corrosion and ensures longevity even with frequent use. Its structure guarantees accurate experiments and safety within laboratory environments.


Versatile Laboratory Application

Operating efficiently on voltages from 110 to 220V, the system accommodates various laboratory infrastructures. Its weight and build make installation straightforward, whether in educational or research facilities.
