Friction Loss in a Horizontal Pipe Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-FMP-11284
Quick Answer: The Friction Loss in a Horizontal Pipe apparatus is a small-bore, straight test pipe on a base plate for studying how the laws of resistance change from laminar to turbulent flow and for finding the critical Reynolds number.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Small-bore, straight test pipe on a base plate
- Static pressure tappings upstream and downstream of the test pipe connect to a water manometer or a hand-held digital pressure meter
- Water manometer with calibrated scales on the back panel for lower differential pressures in the laminar and lower turbulent regions
- Pressure meter for the higher pressures in the turbulent flow region
- Air valve and hand-pump to adjust the water manometer datum
- Needle valve downstream of the test pipe controls the flow rate

About This Product
The apparatus shows the transition point from laminar to turbulent flow, so it suits class demonstrations as well as student experiments. Students set a series of flow rates, read the pressure drop along the pipe and plot the results to locate the critical Reynolds number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the apparatus use both a water manometer and a pressure meter?
The water manometer measures the lower differential pressures in the laminar and lower turbulent flow regions, while the pressure meter measures the higher pressures in the turbulent region.
