Paper discusses experimental results obtained in measurements of essentially incompressible flows inaxially symmetric nozzles with inlet entrance shaped as a 45◦ half-angle chamfering. Interest was concentrated on low Reynolds number conditions. Six differently behaving flow regimes, from A to F, were identified. In the regimes B and C, of most importance for engineering applications, the nozzles exhibit lower hydraulic loss than comparable nozzles with smooth, rounded inlet. In the regime C were identified secondary invariants valid for the whole family of nozzles with different lengths. Most probably due to the de-stabilising effect of vortices, shed from the vortex rings formed at the sharpentrance edge made by the chamfering, at increasing Reynolds number the nozzles with chamfered inlet enter quite soon a transition into turbulence.
