Advance Fluid Friction Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 205
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Advance Fluid Friction Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 205 is designed for in depth experimental study of frictional head losses in incompressible fluid flow. It supports investigation of laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow regimes across smooth and rough pipes. The apparatus enables detailed analysis of losses in pipes, bends, valves, and flow metering devices. It is intended for advanced fluid mechanics laboratory instruction and research level experiments.
Product Overview
The SCIENTICO Advance Fluid Friction Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 205 provides a comprehensive platform to study pipe friction phenomena and associated energy losses. Experiments can be conducted over a Reynolds number range from approximately 10³ to nearly 5000, covering all major flow regimes in smooth pipes. An artificially roughened pipe is included to demonstrate deviation from smooth pipe behavior at higher Reynolds numbers. The apparatus integrates a wide range of fittings and measuring devices, allowing realistic simulation of industrial piping systems and comparative analysis

Construction & Design Details-
The test circuits are mounted on a rigid laminated backboard reinforced with a deep frame and supported by tubular stands. Isolating valves allow selection of individual test sections without draining the system, including parallel pipe configurations. Ported manometer connecting valves ensure rapid bleeding of interconnecting pipe work. Quick coupling sockets with translucent tubing allow rapid connection of any pressure tapping pair to the manometers.
Optional Software-
Optional data acquisition software FluidoSurge-X 205 is available. The software is developed in a LabVIEW™ environment and enables digital acquisition of flow rate and differential pressure data, graphical visualization, automated calculations, and CSV report generation on Windows based systems. Electronic sensors are supplied when the software option is selected.
Export & Supply Capability-
SCIENTICO manufactures the Advance Fluid Friction Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 205 for domestic and international supply. The apparatus is suitable for export to engineering colleges, universities, and research laboratories. Standard packing, hoses, and technical documentation are provided with each unit.
