Losses in Straight Pipes
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-10001
The Losses in Straight Pipes apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-10001), supplied by JaincoLab, measures the pressure drop along a straight pipe in an open system. A transparent elevated tank with an overflow keeps a constant static head on the pipe, and ball valves set the flow. This pipe friction apparatus shows the pressures at six measuring points on six tube manometers, all mounted on a clear panel on a sturdy, movable frame.
Specifications
The pipe loss apparatus is specified by an elevated tank of about 8 litres, a measuring section with 6 pressure points and 6 tube manometers reading -200 to 600 mm WC. Pipe diameter and length are not in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the pipe friction apparatus
The apparatus is used to show how the pressure falls linearly along a straight pipe and how the head loss depends on the flow rate.
- Pressure losses in an open pipe system
- Pressure gradient along a straight pipe
- Head loss against flow rate
- Friction factor calculations for pipe flow
