Pipe Network Apparatus
Product Code : EL-FMLE-10674
QUICK ANSWER: The Pipe Network Apparatus is a freestanding accessory to the Hydraulics Bench used to demonstrate the characteristics of flow through different arrangements of pipes and the effect of changes in pipe diameter on flow through a particular network – including series, parallel, mixed and ring-main configurations, doubled pipes, and the measurement of head loss versus discharge for pipes of different sizes. It consists of a permanent arrangement of PVC pipes and fittings (inside diameters of 14 mm, 10 mm, two of 9 mm, and 6 mm) mounted on a freestanding support frame designed to stand alongside a Hydraulics Bench, connected via reinforced flexible tube and threaded ‘O’-ring union fittings that require no tools; isolating valves allow a wide range of series, parallel and mixed pipe configurations to be set up without draining the system, flow into and out of the network can be varied individually at each outlet, and a digital pressure meter (230V, single phase) measures the differential pressure across the network.
The freestanding accessory to the Hydraulics Bench demonstrates the characteristics of flow through different arrangements of pipes and the effect of changes in pipe diameter on the flow through a particular network. The permanent arrangement of PVC pipes and fittings is mounted on a freestanding support frame designed to stand alongside a Hydraulics Bench in use, with a reinforced flexible tube and threaded union with an ‘O’ ring seal enabling connection without the use of tools. Isolating valves enable a wide range of different series, parallel and mixed pipe configurations to be created without draining the system, and flow into the network and flow out from the network at each outlet can be individually varied to change the characteristics of the system.
