Abstract: This study aims to analyze Pressure Losses in Separating Flow from Variations in Connection Angles Y. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Hasanuddin University, by first preparing equipment and research materials. In this study the independent variables used are the flow rate (Q) before and after passing the pipe joint Y and the variation of the joint angle Y (α). dependent variables are the Reynolds number (Re), the coefficient of loss (Loss Coefficients) (K3-1, K3-2) and the amount of pressure loss (head loss) (hk). The results of the study concluded that; (1) Changes in Angle in the test section will affect the increase in Loss Coefficients in Each Branch, (2) Changes in Reynolds Numbers (Re) will affect changes in the value of Loss Coefficients (K) in each Branch, (3) Changes in Reynold Numbers (Re) will affect the value of the pressure loss (h) at the connection angle Y, and (4) The difference in experimental results with previous studies sourced from several national and international journals is different because of: the type of test pipe used in the study, the type of test section, technology, measurement that has not been precise due to fluctuations in pressure, diameter of the test specimen, different variations in water discharge, different room temperatures, and variations in different angles.
