Fitting Loss Training Panel

The water flows through a pipe with a valve and flow meter before passing through the measured sections. The section under test is connected with a hose. It is possible to measure the pressure loss and to investigate the effects of material, surface roughness and flow rate. Four measured sections are fitted to the panel, each comprising ten elbows and bends in different layouts. The overall length of each section is the same.

Flow rate measurement with rotameter

Pressure measurement with annular chambers with digital differential pressure manometer
Water feed via pressure reducing valve
Investigation of pressure loss in pipe fittings such as elbows and bends
4 Different measuring sections, 10 elbows/bends.
