Fluid Mechanics Trainer
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-10017
The fluid mechanics trainer (SKU JA-FMAHLE-10017) is a self-contained test rig for experiments on pipe flow, valves and flow measurement. Interchangeable, partly transparent measuring objects fit into a pipe section, and a pump draws from a 55 litre storage tank. Digital displays show pressure and differential pressure, and a rotameter measures flow. It is supplied by JaincoLab for fluid mechanics practicals in engineering colleges, polytechnics and TVET institutes.
Specifications
The fluid mechanics trainer has a pump of 0.68 kW power consumption giving up to 7.2 m³/h and 22.8 m head, a 55 litre tank, three 1000 mm straight pipe sections in 32 x 1.8 mm PVC and ½ inch galvanised steel, annular chamber tappings and a tube manometer.

Applications of the fluid mechanics trainer
The fluid mechanics trainer lets students measure pressure losses in straight pipes of different materials and in valves and fittings, and compare flow measurement by Venturi nozzle, orifice plate, measuring nozzle, Pitot tube and rotameter on one rig.
- Pressure losses in straight PVC and galvanised steel pipes
- Loss coefficients of angle seat, diaphragm, ball and non-return valves and a strainer
- Flow measurement with Venturi nozzle, orifice plate and measuring nozzle
- Velocity measurement with a Pitot tube
- Fluid mechanics practicals in engineering, polytechnic and TVET courses
