Fluid Friction Measurement
Product Code : JA-HAP-8913
The fluid friction measurement apparatus measures friction losses in pipes and the loss factors of valves and fittings such as a tee, elbow, Y junction, gate valve and globe valve. Flow is measured with a venturi tube and an orifice plate through pressure differential transmitters, and a traversing Pitot-static tube gives the velocity profile across the pipe (SKU JA-HAP-8913).
