Horizontal Fluid Friction Plant

Teaching Objectives of:

• 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 Calibration of the pressure reducing orifices (venturi, diaphragm) Measurement of the flows by pressure reducing orifices (venturi, diaphragm) Determination of Cv of the valves.
• Technical specifications:
• Frame stainless equipped with casters, including two brakes
• A tank in transparent PVC with draining valve
•  An industrial stainless body centrifugal pump
• A rotameter
• A membrane valve for controlling the flow
• Two pipe sections with diameters of 20 and 25 mm.
• Two pipe sections with a diameter of 15 mm, smooth and rough
• A piping with variable slope
• Elbows with 45°, 90° large and small ray and 135°
• A widening and an abrupt reduction Dn15-Dn25, in Altuglass
• A membrane valve
•  A ball valve
• A cap valve
• A diaphragm in Altuglass
• A Venturi tube in Altuglass
• A device of dye injection
• A manometric panel with single and U-tubes.
• A differential pressure sensor.
• - A control cabinet on/off of the pump and protection
• - A set of manual valves
• - Handbook technical and teaching.

Equipment package:

• - A manometric panel for the measures of the pressure losses in the main system. U-tubes to measure the differential pressures in the diaphragm and the venturi. 4 manometers for the measures of pressures between the valves and a manometric panel.
• - A manometric panel for the measures of the pressure losses in the main system. A differential pressure sensor for pressures measurements in the diaphragm, the venturi and in valves.
• - A differential pressure sensor with display for all the pressures measurements.

Options :

• - Temperature probe and indicator
• - Programmable indicator for calibration of diaphragm and venturi.
