FLUID FRICTION MEASUREMENTS
APPARATUS
MODEL: FM 100
HIS Fluid Friction Measurements Apparatus (Model: FM 100) has been designed for students to
study on the fluid friction head losses of an incompressible fluid flow. The unit is self contained supplied
with facilities for students to study the friction losses on smooth-bore pipes of various diameters and an
artificially roughened pipe. In addition to the study of losses in straight pipes, a wide range of accessories are

also provided including 90 bend, elbow and T, 45 elbow and Y, sudden contraction and enlargement, inline
strainer, various valves and flowmeters.

DESCRIPTION
The investigation on friction head losses in various
straight pipes can be done over a range of Reynolds
numbers from 103 to nearly 105, covering the laminar,
transitional and turbulent flow re-gimes in smooth pipe.
An artificially roughened pipe is supplied which, at the
higher Reynolds number, shows a clear departure from
the typical smooth bore pipe characteristics.
For each size of test pipe, a short sample is provided
loose so that students will be able to measure the
exact diameter and visualise the nature of the internal
finish. The ratio of the pipe diameter to distance of the
pressure tappings from the ends of each pipe has
been selected to minimise end entry effects. Isolating
valves are provided so that the pipe to be tested can
be selected without disconnecting or draining the
system. Tests on parallel pipe

configuration can be done whereby rapid and accurate
flow measurement is possible over the full working
range of the apparatus.
