Fluid Properties Apparatus Model MH 54
Fluid Properties Apparatus Model MH 54
This is a basic module which provides facilities to develop the understanding and knowledge of various fundamental principles and techniques required for the study of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics.
Item Description
Several experiments in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics which are related to properties of fluids and hydrostatics can be carried out using the ‘Sci-tech’ Fluid Properties Apparatus Model MH 54. The unit allows full range of experiments to be carried out including demonstration and measurement of fluid properties, effects of static pressure, application of pressure gauges and manometers and the study of stability of floating bodies. The Apparatus is a very important module and is recommended for all Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratories in Educational Institutions. A list of common experiments that can be conducted using the Hydrostatic Bench is given below:
EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES
a) Density & Specific Gravity
b) Viscosity
c) Capillary demonstration
d) Archimedes Principle of Buoyancy
e) Pressure measurements.
The Apparatus is a self-contained and mobile unit mounted on a steel framed bench fitted with castor wheels. All equipments are kept on the bench panel as well as in the bench cup board.
Water is provided in a storage tank in the bench and an optional pump delivers water for experiments. The unit is ideal for lecture room demonstrations and student projects.
