About This Product
Pipe friction and fitting losses are central to sizing real pipework, and this panel lets students measure them directly. With the hydraulic bench flow as a reference, they compare common flow meters, find friction factors in the roughened pipe over a range of Reynolds numbers, and traverse the Pitot-static tube to obtain velocity profiles and flow coefficients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which flow meters are on the Fluid Friction Apparatus?
A Venturi meter and an orifice plate meter. Students compare their losses and find how flow rate relates to pressure differential.
How is the velocity profile found?
By traversing the Pitot-static tube across the pipe diameter, which also gives the flow coefficients.
