• Description

Key Features
• Compact, easy to fit and easy to use
• Direct comparison of pressure loss across
different pipe fittings and their ‘k’ value
• Includes three different bends - mitre, elbow
and large radius
• Compares losses in a sudden enlargement
(or expansion) and a contraction
• Includes a multi-tube piezometer for
fundamental, accurate pressure
measurements
• Works with TecQuipment’s Hydraulic Bench
for easy installation and use
DB/0816
