Product Code : SCL-CELE-14027
This equipment is a specialized module designed to be
connected to an external Hydraulic Bench. Its primary purpose is to
experimentally study and quantify the minor head losses caused by common
pipe fittings and sudden changes in pipe geometry in fluid flow.
1. Minor Loss Test Section (The Module)
The core module consists of various components with dedicated
pressure measurement taps for loss quantification.
- Fittings
Under Test: The setup includes a comprehensive range of
components:
- Bend
and Elbow: A 1/2 inch bend and a 1/2 inch
elbow.
- Geometry
Changes: Sudden expansion (from 15 mm to 25 mm) and sudden
contraction (from 25 mm to 15 mm).
- Valves: A ball
valve and a gate valve.
- Pressure
Measurement:
- Pressure
Tapings are provided at the inlet and outlet of each
individual fitting.
- A differential
manometer is fitted in the line to measure the pressure loss (Delta
P) across the component.
- Connection: The
module is designed to connect to the Hydraulic Bench using a flexible
pipe line.
2. Hydraulics Bench Specifications (The Supply Unit)
These specifications describe the supporting universal bench
that provides water circulation and flow measurement for the module.
- Work
Surface: Top Tray size 1000 x 700 x 100 mm (approx),
made of Stainless Steel.
- Water
Circulation: Provided by a powerful 1 HP Pump
(Crompton/Kirloskar make) from a Sump Tank (Capacity 100 Liters,
Stainless Steel).
- Flow
Measurement: Achieved volumetrically using a Measuring
Tank (Capacity 40 Liters) and an Electronic Stop Watch for
calculating the actual flow rate (Q actual).
- Control: The
system includes a Control Panel with standard On/Off Switch and
Mains Indicator.
3. Purpose and Experiments
The primary goal is to determine the Loss Coefficient K for
the various fittings.
- Minor
Loss Determination: Measure the head loss hL caused by each fitting
at different flow rates.
- Coefficient
Calculation: Determine the Loss Coefficient (K) for
each component (valves, bends, expansion, contraction).
- Performance
Comparison: Compare the energy efficiency of different types
of valves, such as the ball valve versus the gate valve.
