Fluid mechanics and pumps unit
Model BCD 204


  • This unit is made up of the main components found in a typical hydraulic installation.
  • A differential pressure sensor with a display can easily be connected at various points in the circuit to take measurements.
  • Transparent tubes are used to show the flow of hydraulic fluid.
  • By adjusting the pressure or flow rate, laminar or turbulent flow can be displayed.
  • Closed circuit operation.
  • Manufactured and designed to industrial standards.

COMPONENTS TO BE STUDIED

  • 3 horizontal pipes: DN15 - DN25 – DN40 length : 1000 mm – pressure measurement for the changing of the pipe's length

  • 1 horizontal rough pipe: DN25
    Length: 1000 mm
    Various bend: short horizontal radius bend - 45° bend – 90° bend - 135° horizontal bend
  • 1 pipe with horizontal membrane valve
  • 1 pipe with global step valve (spherical «dome»)and 1 pipe with inclined horizontal seat valve
  • 1 pipe with horizontal diaphragm and venturi
  • 1 pipe with reduction from DN25 to DN15 (horizontal) and increase from DN15 to DN25 (horizontal)

Application
STUDY OF HEAD LOSSES
  • Various diameters of pipes
  • Short radius bend
  • Long radius bend
  • Three different types of valves
  • Sudden diameter increase
  • Sudden diameter decrease
  • Smooth or rough pipe
  • Laminar or turbulent discharge stream
  • Plexiglas venturi
  • Plexiglas diaphragm
