    The experiment measures head loss in pipe flows using an accessory positioned on a hydraulics bench. There are two methods for supplying water to the test pipe - directly from the bench supply for higher flows or from a constant head tank connected to the bench supply for lower flows. The vertical test pipe is instrumented with two manometers, a water over mercury manometer for large pressure differences and a pressurized water manometer for small differences, to measure head loss. Flow is regulated using a control valve facing a volumetric tank to prevent splashing.

    EXPERIMENT #6

    Head Loss in Pipe Flows

    Description
    The accessory is designed to be positioned on the side channels of the hydraulics bench
    top channel.
    There are two methods of supplying water to the test pipe. For higher flow rates the inlet
    pipe is connected directly to the bench supply. For lower flow rates, the inlet pipe is
    connected to the outlet at the base of the constant head tank and the inlet to the tank is
    connected to the bench supply.
    The test section of pipe is mounted vertically on the rig and is instrumented using two
    manometers. A water over mercury manometer is used to measure large pressure
    differentials and a pressurized water manometer is used to measure small pressure
    differentials. When not in use a manometer may be isolated using Hoffman clips.
    Flow through the test section is regulated using a flow control valve. In use this valve
    should face the volumetric tank. A short length of flexible piping attached to the valve will
    prevent splashing.
