Energy Losses in Bends
The Energy Losses in Bends unit, allows to measure and compare the head losses produced by different singular elements: bends, section changes and valves, as well as to study the influence of the flow rate on the value of such losses.
The equipment is mounted on a free-standing framework which supports the test pipework and instrumentation. The following typical pipe fittings are incorporated for study: miter bend, 90º elbow, swept bends (large and small radius), sudden contraction and sudden enlargement.
All are instrumented with upstream and downstream pressure tappings. These tappings are connected to a bank of twelve water manometer tubes, mounted on the framework. Pressurization of the manometers is facilitated by a hand
pump. A gate valve is used to control the flow rate. A separate gate valve is instrumented with upstream and downstream pressure tappings which are connected to a differential gauge on the edge of the framework. The unit stands on the working top of the Hydraulics Bench which is also used as the source of water supply.
