The Set-up consists of 2 pipes of different diameters, which are connected in parallel.

Pressure tapings are provided on each pipe to measure the pressure losses with the help

of a Differential Manometer. Control valves are fitted on each pipe, which enables to use

one pipe at a time for experiment. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating

unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump etc. Flow control valve and bypass

valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow

rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stop watch.
