Key Features

Key Features

• Study of friction-induced pressure losses in pipe flow

• Four straight pipe sections with different materials and diameters

• Commercially standard pipe components

• Accurate pressure measurement using annular pressure chambers

• Differential pressure meter with digital display

• Clear panel layout for easy observation

• Compact, movable laboratory frame

Applications

• Fluid mechanics laboratory experiments

• Study of pipe friction losses

• Analysis of surface roughness effects

• Investigation of diameter and velocity influence on pressure loss

Construction & Design Details

The apparatus is built on a rigid, movable frame supporting a clear mounting panel. Four straight pipe elements are securely installed and connected via ball valves, allowing individual selection during experiments. Pressure tapping points are designed as annular chambers to ensure accurate and representative pressure measurement along the measuring length. Quick-release couplings simplify connection to laboratory water supply and return lines.

Experiments

• Measurement of pressure loss in straight pipes

• Comparison of pressure losses in pipes of different materials

• Study of the influence of pipe diameter on pressure drop

• Investigation of flow velocity effects on friction losses

• Experimental verification of theoretical pipe flow equations

Data Acquisition Software (Optional)

Optional software  developed in the NITM LabVIEW™ environment, supports data acquisition, processing, and reporting on Windows systems. The software enables graphical representation of flow rate versus pressure loss, data logging, and export of measured and calculated values in CSV format.
