Total local head loss within many components such as "L" bend, curve bend, "T" junction and contraction & expansion nozzles will be given by the summation of each head loss within each components, only when each components are separated by enough spacing along the conduit. Local loss components cause disturbed and distorted stream lines at their terminals which we call component"s influence zone. If the second component fit within the influence zone of the first component, then the addition of each component"s local loss values (expected) won"t give the actual loss within those two components. My research task is to compare these expected and actual values when one is within the other one"s influence zone. In this research experiment we have considered some local loss components and our experimental model is created to analyse those components" behaviours when one is fit in to the others" influence zone. According to the experiment we gathered enough data to analyse each components" behaviour separately and then we came to a conclusion. Introduction, literature survey, methodology, experimental results and Conclusion are included in this manuscript.
