Pipes Losses Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 341
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 Pipes Losses Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 341 is a laboratory system designed to investigate frictional pressure losses in pipe flow. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the apparatus enables controlled study of how pipe material, diameter, surface roughness, and flow velocity affect pressure loss in incompressible fluid flow. It is intended for instructional use in fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratories. The unit operates with standard laboratory water supply arrangements.
Product Overview
FluidoSurge-X 341 consists of four straight pipe sections mounted on a clear panel fixed to a sturdy, movable frame. Each pipe section is manufactured from commonly used materials in heating and sanitary engineering and can be selected individually using ball valves. Flow rate is adjusted via inlet and return valves and measured using a rotameter. Differential pressure across each pipe section is measured using annular pressure tapping chambers connected to a differential pressure meter with digital display.
