About Fluid Friction Apparatus

Fluid Friction Apparatus

Shows flow and losses in different pipes, fittings and valves. Shows popular flow measurement instruments.
A space-saving vertical panel that works with Gravimetric or Volumetric Hydraulic Benches for easy installation
Includes different valves, pipes and fittings to show losses
Includes experiments on roughened pipes
Shows laminar and turbulent flow
Uses Bernoullis equation
Shows how to use Venturi and orifice meters to measure flow
Includes a traversing Pitot tube to measure velocity profile

Fluid Friction Apparatus allows students to study flow, flow measurement techniques and losses in a wide variety of pipes and fittings. The equipment has three water circuits with instruments,pipes and pipe system components. These allow students to examine and compare the different component characteristics. A hydraulic bench (Gravimetric ) or Volumetric , available separately) supplies the circuit with a controlled flow of water. A space-saving vertical panel holds all the parts for easy use. To measure pressure loss across components, students use a piezometer set and differential pressure gauge (included). To perform experiments students record the temperature of water in the hydraulic bench and set the hydraulic bench to pump water through a circuit. They measure pressure losses across instruments or components. The hydraulic bench gives an external flow rate for reference and comparison. The flow measurement instruments show students the common methods of measuring water flow. They also give applications of the steady flow energy equation (Bernoulls equation). Students use a Venturi meter and an orifice plate meter and compare the losses of each. They also find the losses in a rapid enlargement.
The equipment also includes a Pitot-static tube. By traversing the Pitot across the pipe diameter, students can find the velocity profile and flow coefficients. They also find the relationship between the flow rate and pressure differential.An artificially roughened pipe allows students to study friction factor at different Reynolds numbers, covering the interesting transitional flow from laminar to turbulent.They can compare results to those predicted by Nickuradses results and a Moody chart.

Standard Features

Supplied with a comprehensive user guide
Two-year warranty
Manufactured in accordance with the latest Indian Union directives

Versatile Experimental Setup

The apparatus accommodates up to three pipe samples in parallel with bore diameters of 0.5, 0.75, and 1 inch. Its transparent acrylic sections make fluid flow and measurement more observable and tactile for students and researchers, while interchangeable pipes allow a wide range of friction tests.

Precision Measurement Instruments

Measurement is facilitated by a rotameter for flow rate (025 LPM) and a U-tube differential manometer for pressure drop (0500 mm water column), both offering direct reading scales. The apparatus provides 1% FSD accuracy, making it ideal for laboratory and educational purposes.

Safety and Ease of Use

Equipped with a centrifugal pump and overload protector, the apparatus ensures secure operation for users. Manual controls and included accessoriessuch as measuring tubes, instruction manual, and connecting pipessimplify setup and use, guaranteeing consistent results in fluid mechanics experiments.

FAQs of Fluid Friction Apparatus:

Q: How does the Fluid Friction Apparatus measure fluid flow and pressure drop?

A: Fluid flow is measured using a direct-reading rotameter, which indicates rates from 0 to 25 LPM. Pressure drop across specimens is read via a U-tube differential manometer, which displays values up to 500 mm water column with instant analog response.

Q: What materials are used for constructing the apparatus, and why?

A: The apparatus is made from stainless steel, mild steel, and acrylic, providing corrosion resistance, structural strength, and transparency for observing water flow inside the pipes during experiments.

Q: When should I use the Fluid Friction Apparatus in my fluid mechanics curriculum?

A: Use this equipment during laboratory sessions devoted to studying fluid friction principles, pipe flow characteristics, and loss calculations. Its precise measurements make it especially useful for deepening understanding of practical fluid mechanics.

Q: Where can this apparatus be installed and operated?

A: Designed for bench-top mounting, the Fluid Friction Apparatus requires an installation area of approximately 1.2 m x 0.5 m, making it suitable for laboratories in educational institutes or research centers.

Q: What process does the equipment follow to test multiple pipe samples?

A: Up to three interchangeable pipe specimens in parallel (with bore diameters of 0.5, 0.75, and 1 inch) can be tested by directing water through them, using manual controls to adjust flow and monitoring readings via the rotameter and manometer.

Q: How does the overload protector benefit users during operation?

A: The overload protector safeguards the centrifugal pumps motor from excessive current or load, helping to prevent equipment damage and ensuring safe, uninterrupted laboratory operation.
