Horizontal Fluid Friction Plant
Teaching Objectives of:
Horizontal Fluid Friction Plant
- Study of the principal elements in an installation of piping.
- Measurement of pressure losses generated by these various elements by means of manometric panel or/and electronic probe with transmitter.
- Visualization of the flows in the pressure reducing conduits and orifices
- Observation of the modes of laminar flow and turbulent according to the flows and pressures
Study of the regular pressure losses of:
- Piping of various diameters
- Piping smooth and rough
- Piping rising, downward and tilted
Study of the individual pressure losses of:
- Elbows of various angles
- abrupt increase or reduction of the piping diameter
- various valves
