Pressure lost as water passes through pipes and fittings affects the design and operation of plumbing systems. This report describes a test facility built to obtain detailed pressure and flow measurements for contemporary plumbing components.
The authors explain the apparatus, instrumentation, test sections and measurement procedures. Experimental results are used to derive friction factors and loss coefficients, with attention to repeatability and uncertainty. Diagrams, photographs and comparisons show how the facility can support improved test methods for plumbing and related piping applications.
