3/6

This Closed Circuit apparatus consisting of three G.I. pipelines of size 20mm and 25mm

diameter fitted with a device for quick and easy charge over for a pressure tapings to any

through separate lines having isolation valves and flow control valves. Each pipeline with

Taping 10meter discharge to determine the pipe friction loss.

Mercury column manometer 500 mm lengths will be provided to measure the

Differential head. Supply pump set of 0.5 HP, 230 VAC, 50Hz to pump water from the

sump to store the unit through proper piping system with a gate valve to control the rate of

flow.

of size 25mm x 25mm. The pump is directly coupled with electrical motor of 2HP, single phase,

50 Hz and 230V.

The following experiments can be conducted for plotting the characteristics graphs.

Discharge vs. Head

Discharge vs. Input Power.

Discharge vs. Efficiency.

Switch for the above pump set and an energy meter for the measurement of input power.

Piping system consisting of pipes, valves, fittings complete with suitable for the test rig.
