TRAINING OBJECTIVES
• Study of all possible configurations of a piping system.
• Easy to rearrange, without the need of installing and removing any piece of pipe or accessories.
• Pressure measuring points with double closure mechanism upstream and downstream.
• Bourdon type, water column and digital differential pressure gauges.
Many practices and experiments are possible to realize and are listed below:
• Piping modeling.
• Calibration of each component and segment, so the user is able to determine the flow on each corresponding element.
• Measurement and testing of pressure and flow losses in a piping circuit fed at one end.
– With flow outlet
– Without flow outlet
• Measurement and testing of pressure and flow losses in a piping circuit fed on both ends.
• Measurement and testing of pressure losses and equivalent arrangement of different diameters of pipes in series.
– With 2 different diameters
– With 3 different diameters
– With 4 different diameters
• Measurement and testing of flows and pressures along different kinds of existing circuits.
– Branched circuit
– Mesh circuit
– Mixed circuit
• Employment of diaphragm as a meter element.
• Testing of working pressure along the installation.
• Employment of different kinds of pressure gauges:
– Water column
– Digital differential pressure gauge
• Bourdon type
– Manometer
– Vacuum pressure gauge
• Plot of characteristic pump curve

• Bourdon vacuum gauge, measure range -76 cm Hg / 25 m water column
PIPING CIRCUITS
The trainer has been designed for the study and analysis of flow through piping circuits.
The design of this module is intended to be complete and flexible, so that user can practice with several types of configurations, with the possibility to choose the grade of complexity.
The configuration setup is as simple as closing and opening valves, there is no need of installing and removing any piece of pipe or accessories.
Since there are many pressure measuring points to work with, in order to avoid leaks along the circuit, the installation features “ecological” nipple couplers, which do not leak during connection and disconnections.
This equipment is a complete solution for all kinds of configurations that can take place in the piping system from simple to complex arrangements easy to use and with virtually maintenance free.
