Horizontal Fluid Friction Plant

Teaching Objectives of:

Horizontal Fluid Friction Plant

• 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.
