Friction Loss In Pipe Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Friction Loss In Pipe apparatus (Product Code: SLE/EFM/09) measures the pressure lost as water flows along a test pipe, across both laminar and turbulent regimes. Static pressure tappings either side of the pipe feed a water manometer for small differentials and a hand-held digital pressure meter for larger ones, while a precision needle valve sets the flow. The apparatus stands on a hydraulic bench and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for fluid mechanics courses at engineering colleges and polytechnics.

Specifications

Typical Use

Students set the apparatus on the hydraulic bench and fit the Header Tank, which provides a steady supply for the low-flow runs. Starting with the needle valve nearly closed, they read the head loss on the water manometer, collect a timed volume to find the flow rate, then open the valve a little and repeat. At low flows the head loss rises in direct proportion to velocity; as the flow increases past transition the relationship steepens, and the class switches to the digital pressure meter to follow the higher differentials in the turbulent region.

Plotting friction factor against Reynolds number turns the readings into a small Moody-style chart and lets students compare their laminar results with the theoretical Poiseuille line. As mechanics lab equipment for India’s civil and mechanical engineering syllabi, the apparatus supports reports on pipe design, pump sizing and energy loss. Use the hand-pump to bring the manometer levels to a convenient datum before each series, and bleed air from the tappings so readings settle quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flow regimes can be studied?
Laminar and turbulent. The water manometer covers the laminar and lower turbulent regions; the hand-held digital pressure meter covers the higher pressures of the turbulent region.

Is a hydraulic bench included?
The apparatus is designed to stand on a hydraulic bench, which is not listed as part of this item. Please contact us to discuss a suitable water supply.

What is the Header Tank for?
It supplies the test pipe during low flow rate experiments, giving a steady head for laminar-region readings.

How is flow controlled?
By a precision needle valve downstream of the test pipe, which allows fine, accurate adjustment.

What are the test pipe diameter and length?
These dimensions are not given on this page; we can confirm them with your quotation.

Can a calibration certificate be provided for the pressure meter?
Raise any certificate requirement with our team at the enquiry stage and we will advise.

Do you ship to colleges abroad?
Yes. We supply institutions in India and international markets.
