Permeability/Fluidization Studies Apparatus Model FM 63
Permeability/Fluidization Studies Apparatus Model FM 63
Sci-tech Permeability / Fluidization Studies Apparatus Model FM 63 is designed to study characteristics of flow through bed of particles. The apparatus consists of a cylinder filled with various type of bed granular medium (for example, sand), a constant head water tank is connected to cylinder which allows water flow through the cylinder. Utility water supply tap passes through a constant head tank, with also allows air bubbles to be released, and is controlled by hand with a needle valve. The rate of flow is indicated by variable area meter.
Pressure drop across the bed is measured by 0.5m mercury manometer. Valves are fitted for isolation of various part circuit, together with air release valves. The test section tube and all tubing connections are clear color type so that the operation can be observed and present of bubbles easily detected. The apparatus frame works is made steel tube with epoxy coated for corrosion resistant.
