This equipment measures pressure drop when water flows through a vertical pipe at various flow rates both laminar and turbulent. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench (separately supplied) for a water supply and flow measurement.
It consists of adjustable constant head water source of removable clear acrylic cylinder for laminar flow. Turbulent flow may be achieved by directly connecting the pipe to the Hydraulics Bench water supply. A water manometer with a vent valve, a hand air pump and a differential pressure gauge are provided for measurement of pressure drop. A valve at the outlet is used to control outlet pressure. Instruction manual is also included.
