The objective of study was to conduct experimental study in measuring the pressure loss due to the major and minor loss in fluid flow at straight and bent micro channel. Test channel had circular cross-sections with hydraulic diameters of 118 µm to 1203 µm for straight and 348 to 1203 for bent micro channels. The results showed that losses for larger diameter of straight channel were well predicted. The bent channel showed that the loss coefficient values were higher if the Reynolds number got smaller.
