Energy Losses in Bend and Fitting

Energy Losses in Bend and Fitting

• Circuit with four bends of different radii
• Enlargement, contraction and gate valve, plus control valve
• Manometer board with 12 tubes plus differential pressure gauge
• Hand pump for pressurization of manometers
• Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench
• Educational Software available as an option

Description:

• The equipment is mounted on a free-standing framework which supports the test pipework and instrumentation.
• The following typical pipe fittings are incorporated for study: mitre bend, 90° elbow, sweep bends (large and small radius), sudden contraction and sudden enlargement.
• All are instrumented with upstream and downstream pressure tappings.
• These tappings are connected to a bank of twelve water manometer tubes, mounted on the framework. Pressurisation of the manometers is facilititated by a hand pump.
• A gate valve is used to control the flow rate. A separate gate valve is instrumented with upstream and downstream pressure tappings which are connected to a differential gauge on the edge of the framework.
