FM 21 - Solution Engineering

Equipment for Engineering Education & Research
SOLTEQ ® MODEL: FM 21
AIR FLOW TRAINING UNIT
T
HIS Air Flow Training Unit (Model: FM 21) has been designed to demonstrate to students the principles
of compressible fluid flow. The unit comes with a motor driven centrifugal fan and various interchangeable
test sets such as multitube manometer test set, venturi, orifice and pitot tube test set, Bernoulli’s theorem
test set, flow around a bend test set, pressure losses in pipes test set, jet dispersion test set and boundary layer
growth test set. The air flow rate through the duct is adjustable rate through the duct.
EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES
♦ Characteristics of fan
♦ Flow rate measurements using venturi and orifice
♦ Bernoulli’s theorem demonstrations
♦ Flow around a bend
♦ Pressure losses in pipes test set
♦ Jet dispersion measurements
♦ Determination of boundary layer growth
♦ Smoke Generation
SPECIFICATIONS
The unit consists of epoxy coated steel frame
constructed on castors, comes with centrifugal fan and
necessary control panel. Various test sets are supplied
with the unit for students to run experiments on the
principles of compressible fluid flow.
