Test Design(Continue)
Reservoir:To build up pressure and force the air to
flow downstream through any of the threestraight experiment pipes.
Digital Micrometer:Allow the measurement of the position of the
Pitot probe at different locations along thecross section of the pipe tested
Pitot Probe:Located in the glass-wall box
Used to measure the Stagnation pressureand calculate the velocity profile in pipe
Venturi meters:Located on each pipe type
Used to measure flow rate Q along thedifferential water manometer
Pressure Taps:Located along each pipe, they are
connected to the simple water manometer toevaluate the head measurement
They are used to calculate the frictionfactor
Manometers:To measure the head at each pressure Tap
along the pipe and to make the Pitot-tubemeasurements (simple Manometer)
To measure head drops across the venturimeters (differential Manometer)

Data Acquisition and reduction
The procedures for data acquisition and reduction are described as follow:
1. Use the appropriate Venturi meter, (2 smooth pipe) measure the headdrop
2. Take reading for ambient air (manometer water) and pipe air
temperatures.3. To obtain velocity data, measure in the appropriate Pitot-tube box, the
ambient head and stagnation heads across the full diameter. Measure thestagnation heads at radial intervals. The recommended radial spacing forone half of the diameter is 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 23, and 24 mm.
4. Maintaining the discharge, measure the head along the pipe by means ofthe simple water manometer connected to the pressure taps located alongthe pipe being studied (10 times for uncertainty analysis)
5. Repeat step 2
6. Execute data reduction for data analysis and uncertainty analysis usingequation above
