General Description

The Fluid Friction in Pipes Unit, "AFT/P", is designed to determine the friction coefficient in pipes, to study the pressure losses in different types of valves and different fittings and to compare different methods to measure the flow.

This unit contains five straight pipe sections made of different materials and with different diameters and roughness. Additionally, a wide range of accessories are included for the study of losses in straight pipes, several types of valves, pipe fitting, etc.

The different pipe sections, valves and pipe fittings include several pressure measurement points with quick action connections.

The unit includes two water manometric tubes, two Bourdon manometers and a flowmeter.
