Fluid Friction Measurements Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9940
The fluid friction measurements apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9940) is a floor-standing unit for detailed study of the head losses that occur when water flows through pipes, fittings, valves and flow metering devices. Smooth pipes of four sizes cover laminar and turbulent flow over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, and 38 tapping points serve the test circuits. It is supplied by JaincoLab for pipe friction practicals in engineering colleges and polytechnics.
Specifications
The fluid friction measurements apparatus has a tubular steel floor-standing frame carrying four smooth-bore pipes from 4.5 mm to 17.2 mm internal diameter, an artificially roughened pipe, a range of bends, elbows, valves and fittings, Perspex flow meters and 38 tapping points.

Applications of the fluid friction measurements apparatus
The fluid friction measurements apparatus lets students measure friction losses in smooth and rough pipes and minor losses in fittings and valves at different flow rates, so they can relate friction factor to Reynolds number and find loss coefficients for each component.
- Friction head loss in smooth pipes in laminar and turbulent flow
- Effect of pipe roughness on friction factor
- Loss coefficients of bends, elbows, tees and changes of section
- Losses in globe, gate and ball valves
- Flow measurement with the orifice meter, Venturi and Pitot tube
