Losses Due To Pipe Fittings Sudden Enlargement & Contraction
It comprises of 1/2 bend and elbow. Pressure tapings are provided at inlet and outlet of these fittings under test. A differential manometer fitted in the line gives pressure, loss of individual fittings. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates.
Experiments:
- To determine loss of head in the fittings at various water flow rates
- To measure the loss coefficient for the pipe fittings
