The GUNT Air Flow in Pipes and Pipe Elements Trainer enables the experimental determination of pressure losses and flow behavior in pipe systems, essential for designing efficient piping networks.
Product Features
- Pressure losses occur due to friction between the pipe wall and fluid, influenced by surface roughness and pipe material
- Pressure loss depends on flow velocity and cross-sectional area through which the fluid flows
- Allows experimental determination of pressure loss coefficients and investigation of pressure curves in typical pipe sections
- Supports experiments with both laminar and turbulent air flow
- Includes three straight pipe sections made of different materials and diameters
- Includes pipe sections with one pipe angle and six pipe angles to study pressure curves
- Equipped with an orifice plate flow meter for volumetric flow rate measurement
- Balance included to measure jet force at the end of the pipe system
- Pressure measuring points designed as annular chambers located directly upstream and downstream of pipe elements for precise pressure measurement
- Paired pressure measuring points connected to a differential pressure meter for reading differential pressures
- Volumetric flow rate displayed on two rotameters with different measuring ranges for accuracy
Benefits
- Provides detailed insight into pressure loss mechanisms in pipe networks
- Enables practical study of flow regimes from laminar to turbulent
- Facilitates accurate measurement of volumetric flow and pressure differentials
- Supports engineering design and optimization of pipe systems
- Precision measurement tools ensure reliable experimental data
