PRESSURE LOSSES IN BENDS AND FITTINGS

This unit demonstrates the pressure losses that occur in different types of pipes and plumbing arrangements. It comprises 6 different horizontal sections featuring different diameter, roughness and material pipes, along with long and short radius bends, parallel sections, and constrictions. The unit also has an expandable top section for investigating different configurations or student-designed arrangements.
