Pipe Network Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 228
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 Pipe Network Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 228 is a laboratory training system designed to study flow behavior in interconnected pipe networks. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the apparatus allows experimental investigation of head loss, discharge, and flow distribution in series, parallel, and mixed pipe configurations. The system is suitable for hands-on instruction in fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratories. It operates using a hydraulic bench or laboratory water supply.
Product Overview
FluidoSurge-X 228 consists of a modular arrangement of PVC pipes and fittings mounted on a freestanding support frame. The design enables rapid reconfiguration of pipe networks without draining the system. Individual isolating valves allow precise control of inlet and outlet flows. Differential pressures at selected points in the network are measured using quick-release connections for manometers, while overall discharge is measured using a volumetric hydraulic bench.

Construction & Design Details
The apparatus uses rigid PVC pipes mounted on a stable freestanding support frame. Pipes are connected using unions with O-ring seals, allowing rapid rearrangement of network layouts without tools. Reinforced flexible hoses with quick-release fittings connect the network to the water source. Strategic pressure tapping points with self-sealing connectors enable fast attachment of manometers for differential pressure measurement.

Q1. What types of pipe configurations can be created with this apparatus?
Series, parallel, mixed networks, and ring main configurations can be assembled.
Q2. Can the network be reconfigured without draining the system?
Yes. Union fittings with O-ring seals allow repositioning without draining.
Q3. How is flow rate measured in the system?
Flow leaving the network is measured using a volumetric hydraulic bench.
Q4. How are pressure losses measured?
Differential pressures are measured using manometers connected via self-sealing quick-release fittings.
Q5. Is a hydraulic bench included with the apparatus?
No. A hydraulic bench or laboratory water supply is required for operation.
