Pipe Flow And Nozzle Kit (Product Code: SLE/EFM/19) is an air-flow accessory kit for studying pressure losses in pipes and fittings and for comparing different ways of measuring flow. The pipes connect to a fan inlet so the fan works in suction, drawing air through smooth-walled pipes fitted with many pressure tappings, a Pitot traverse, a nozzle and an orifice plate. It is intended for mechanical and aeronautical engineering practicals, and is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a supplier of lab equipment for college laboratories in India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Test pipes | Two long lengths of smooth-walled pipe with multiple pressure tappings |
| Connection | Pipes connect to the fan inlet, so the fan works in suction for pipe tests |
| Velocity profile | Pitot traverse fitted at the end of one long pipe |
| Nozzle study | Probe in an assembly that moves axially through an additional nozzle to measure its axial pressure profile |
| Flow comparison | Nozzle and orifice plate included for comparing measured flow |
| Fittings | Three: two elbows and a bend, each fitting between the long pipes |
| Pressure readout | Pipe tappings connect to a multiway pressure display |
Kit contents as described:
In the first exercise, students read static pressure at each tapping along a straight pipe and plot pressure against distance; the steady gradient gives the friction loss and, with the flow rate, the friction factor. Traversing the Pitot tube across the pipe end then gives the velocity profile, which they integrate to calculate the theoretical flow and compare with the readings from the nozzle and the orifice plate. Moving the probe step by step through the additional nozzle maps its axial pressure profile, showing how pressure converts to velocity as the flow accelerates.
Inserting the two elbows and the bend in turn between the long pipes isolates the extra pressure drop each fitting causes, so students can express it as a loss coefficient. Keep tapping tubes free of kinks, seal every joint well to avoid air leaks, and let the fan settle at each setting before reading.
This kit is one of the air-flow teaching products developed by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known in the market as ScienceLab and located in Ambala, Haryana. Visit our company profile to learn about the organisation.

What is included in the kit?
Two long smooth-walled pipes with pressure tappings, a Pitot traverse, an additional nozzle with an axially moving probe, an orifice plate, and three fittings — two elbows and a bend.
Does the kit include a fan?
No fan is listed in the kit; the pipes connect to a fan inlet. Tell us which fan you have, or ask about our Centrifugal Fan Module.
Is the multiway pressure display part of the kit?
The tappings are designed to connect to a multiway pressure display, but the display is not listed among the kit contents. Please contact us to add one.
What pipe diameter and length are used?
Exact dimensions are not in our current product details; ask us for the drawing.
How many flow-measurement methods can be compared?
Three: the Pitot traverse velocity profile, the nozzle and the orifice plate.
Is a calibration certificate available for the orifice plate or nozzle?
Discuss any certificate requirement with us at enquiry stage.
Can you quote for several kits or for export?
Yes. Include the quantity, fan details and delivery location in India or abroad.
