Piping Systems

We will determine the major losses due to friction in pipes and the minor losses due to elbows and valves.

Grade Level: College

Subject: Physics

Featured Equipment

General Flow Sensor with Venturi Tube

The General Flow Sensor with Venturi Tube determines fluid velocity by measuring the pressure difference between the two input tubes within a pipe network.

General Flow Sensor

The General Flow Sensor measures the flow rate of air or water. Venturi Tubes or Pitot Tubes are available separately.

Pressure Taps (5 Pack)

Set of 5 clear PVC taps for water flow visibility when designing and constructing pipe networks. For use with an Absolute Pressure Sensor.

Piping Systems

In this experiment, students determine the major losses due to friction in pipes and the minor losses due to elbows and valves.
