About This Product
Minor losses are the head lost at fittings in a pipe circuit, and together with major losses they help engineers work out pumping power and choose materials and fittings for piping networks. Students change the discharge with the control valve, take the head loss across each fitting from the manometer and find the flow from the measuring tank. Circuit and manometer sit together on one support framework. Schools and distributors in Trinidad and Tobago, Sierra Leone, Bhutan, Botswana and Suriname can order the Losses In Pipe Fitting Apparatus from School Educational Instrument.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the head loss across a fitting measured?
Pressure tapings at each fitting are connected to a manometer bank with a manifold and air bleed valve, and the readings are taken on a block-type acrylic differential manometer of 250-0-250 mm.
How does this differ from the pipe friction apparatus?
This apparatus deals with minor flow losses at pipe fittings, while the Losses In Pipe Friction Apparatus is designed to introduce major flow losses along pipes.
