Machine starting common facts

-Plug in the cable to the socket.

-Check the emergency button before opening the main switch.
-Open the switch.
-Connect the measuring pipes to the valves of the pipe.
-Check the connecting point not to leak before measuring
-Open the flush button valve of the pressure meter before operating.
-Open the gate valves according to your measuring pipes simultaneously.
-Shake the measuring pipes to make sure that there is no bubble in the pipes.
-Close the gate valves also at the same time.
-Adjust the liquid pressures to be the same level in the pressure meter.
-Close the flush button valve.
-Open the gate valves at the same time.
-And you will see changes in the pressure meter. That is the pressure difference.
-Read the pressure difference and note it. You can find pressure drop by using it.
-Need to measure the flow rate of liquid by using a beaker cup(1000L) and timer.

-Close the gate valves again at the same time.

-Open the flush button valve.
-Close the main switch.
-Turn on the emergency button for safety.
-Plug out the cable from the socket.
-You can read the diameter and length on the board.
-And you can find velocity.
By formula,
Q (Flow rate) = A (Area) * v (Velocity)
Q = 0.5 L/s (liter/second)=0.5L/s * 10-3 m3/L (cubic meter / liter)
= 0.5*10-3 m3/s (cubic meter /second)
A = π*D2/4 = 3.14*(20*10-2)2/4 = 3.1420*10-4 m2 (squared meter)
V = Q/A
= 0.5*10-3/3.1420*10-4
= 1.6 m/s (meter/second)
-In practical measuring, we found the pressure drops of pipes as follows.

For major loss(180 Degree)

Pressure in = 50cmH2O
Pressure out = 74cmH2O
Pressure drop = 74-50 = 24cmH20 = 24*98.066 = 2353.584 Pa (Pascal)
(1 cmH2O = 98.066Pa)
For minor loss (90 Degree bend)
Pressure in = 31cmH2O
Pressure out = 63cmH2O
Pressure drop = 63-31 = 32cmH2O = 32*98.066 = 3138.112 Pa
(1 cmH2O = 98.066Pa)
For minor loss (45 Degree bend)
Pressure in = 31.5cmH2O
Pressure out = 71.5cmH2O
Pressure drop = 741.5-31.5 = 40cmH2O = 40*98.066 3922.64Pa
(1 cmH2O = 98.066Pa)
