Flow through Pipes in Series and Parallel: Difference Diameters, Equations and Solved Problems

Flow through Pipes in Series and Parallel: Difference Diameters, Equations and Solved Problems! Pipe in Series: Pipes are said to be in series if they are connected end to end (in continuation with each other) so that the fluid flows in a continuous line without any branching. The volume rate of flow through the pipes in series is the same [...]

How to Measure Flow of Water in Pipes? | Water Engineering

Several methods are available for measuring flow in pipes. Only a few of them which can be used on the farm are discussed here: 1. Volumetric Measurements: Flow measurements by this method are made by measuring the time required for the flow to fill a container of known volume. Volume divided by time is equal to the rate of flow. [...]

Laying and Joining of Water Supply Pipes | Water Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the laying and joining of water supply pipes. Laying of Water Supply Pipes: Pipes are generally laid below the ground level, but sometimes when they pass in open areas, they may be laid over the ground. The pipes are laid in the following way: (a) First of all detailed map showing all roads, [...]

Tests for Newly Laid Pipes | Water Conveyance | Water Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the hydrostatic and leakage tests performed for newly laid pipes. Hydrostatic Test: After laying the new pipe line, jointing and back filling, it is subjected to the following tests: (i) Pressure test at a pressure of at least double the maximum working pressure-pipe and joints shall be absolutely watertight under the test. (ii) [...]
