Product Overview

The SCIENTICO Energy Losses in Pipe Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 148 provides a clearly arranged experimental setup for studying pipe friction and local losses. Water is supplied either from a hydraulic bench or directly from laboratory mains and flows through various pipe sections and fittings. Pressure losses are measured using multiple pressure tapings connected to a manometer bank. The system allows comparison of losses in straight pipes, bends, contractions, enlargements, and valves under different flow regimes.
