Lab 7: Irrigation System Pressure Surge

Lab Equipment | Experiment 1 | Experiment 2 | Experiment 3 | Experiment 4 | Experiment 5 | Experiment 6

 

Lab 7 apparatus (right to left): valves for selecting different pipes, water supply control panel, lengths of pipe, valve with pressure gauge port. To begin the experiment, open the water supply valve (black). Select the desired pipe by opening its valve. Each pipe is labeled with its length and inner diameter. The water supply control panel starts water flowing, and allows the system to be filled and drained. The terminal valve is initially open, then closed quickly to create a pressure surge.
