PIPE FRICTION APPARATUS |
|
INTRODUCTION :-
An apparatus for determining losses due to friction in pipes of
15, 20 & 25mm. Dia. approx. Consisting of collecting Tank,
storage Tank, pump (0.5HP) Control Valves, pressure tapping,
Piezometer Board, Stop Clock etc. |
|
BASIC SET UP - : |
|
1. STORAGE TANK
Made out of fibreglass for corrosion prevention, suitably
mounted on a sturdy frame support. Size : 100cm. x 70cm. x 23cm.
(approx.)
2. COLLECTING TANK
Made out fiber glass for corrosion tank. Size of the collecting
Tank is 55cm. x 45cm. x 40cm. Capacity approx. 60 liters, fitted
with drain valve 1” size piezomenter Tube with calibrated liters
Marking scale.
3. MONOBLOCK PUMP
Monoblock, 1 ph, 1/2HP Pump shall be provided with the set-up
which shall be mounted on the base plate. Necessary piping with
by – pass valve & suction piping are provided. The connection
for the test equipment is made by flexible Hose pipe. |
