ZM8155 Fluid Friction Apparatus teaching aid equipment Hydrodynamics Lab Equipment
Purpose – The apparatus helps students for detail study of fluid friction head losses which occur when an incompressible fluid flows through pipes, fittings and flow metering devices. ORDERING SPECIFICATION
Tubular steel framework supporting a network of pipes and fittings
Four test pipes of different diameters, plus roughened pipe
Large selection of valves, bends and fittings for test
Acrylic pipe section with Venturi, orifice plate and Pitot tube
38 tapping points for head loss measurement
Supplied with fittings for easy connection to hydraulics bench
Various instrumentation options available including water, mercury or digital manometers
The Arm field Hydraulics Bench and its comprehensive range of optional accessories have been developed to instruct students in the many different aspects of hydraulic theory.
INSTRUCTIONAL CAPABILITIES
Confirming the relationship between head loss due to fluid friction and velocity for flow of water
Determining the head loss associated with flow through a variety of standard pipe fittings
Determining the relationship between pipe friction coefficients and Reynolds’ number for flow through a pipe with roughened bore
Demonstrating the application of differential head devices in the measurement of flow rate and velocity
Providing practical training of pressure measurement techniques
