Description
Technical Details

The pipe friction for laminar/ turbulent flow (FM113) is a benchtop unit that is used to investigate pipe frictional losses with laminar and turbulent flows and allows determining the pipe friction coefficient factor.

The pipe section is a pipe with an internal diameter of 5 mm.
The distance between the pressure measuring fittings and thus the length of the experimental pipe section is 600 mm.
The pressure losses for laminar flow are measured using a water manometer.
The static pressure difference is displayed. A head tank is available to create a laminar flow and ensures a constant water inlet pressure in the pipe section at a constant water level.
For turbulent flow, the pressure difference is measured using a dial manometer. The head tank is not used to create a turbulent flow.
The experimental unit is positioned easily and securely on the work surface of the Main Hydraulic Unit that acts as the supply of water to the unit.
The water is fed directly into the pipe section from the water supply via a bypass.
The flow is adjusted using shut-off valves at the beginning and end of the pipe.
