Abstract

The work consisted of comparing the pressure loss results obtained experimentally by the HM 150.61 equipment, in a water piping system. The measurement of the original data was carried out with traditional instruments  and the calculation in an Excel spreadsheet, and for the electronic measurement, the HM 150.61 equipment was used, which has measureming sensors, supplied by the Gunt Hamburg company.

The main objective was to determine the deviation between experimental and electronic measurement, being able to evidence that there is little deviation; and the effectiveness of this equipment as a means of learning for engineering and related career was proven. The measurement with the equipment and the experimental results show the effectiveness of combining the two methods to measure and estimate the pressure losses and being able to make much better decisions when implementing projects of drinking water distribution networks. The behavior of the pressure drop curve is determined to calculate the pump power required to circulate water in a piping system.
