Pipe Friction

Description of Pipe Friction

Pipe Friction equipment measures pressure drop when water flows through a vertical pipe at various flow rates both laminar and turbulent. Pipe Friction is to be used with Hydraulics Bench. It consists of adjustable constant head water source of removable clear acrylic cylinder for laminar flow. Turbulent flow may be achieved by directly connecting the pipe to the Hydraulics Bench water supply. A water manometer with a vent valve, a hand air pump and a mercury manometer are provided for measurement of pressure drop.
