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.
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. 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.
Technical Specifications
The unit consists of the following experimental apparatus:
- 3 Hydrometers of resolution 0.002ºSG:
- Two hydrometer jars of 450 x 50 mm.
- Aneroid barometer, range: 973 – 1047 mbar.

- Pycnometer of 50 ml.
- Parallel plates capillary module.
- Capillary tubes module with tubes of different size: 5 mm, 4 mm, 3 mm, 2.2 mm, 1.7 mm and 1.2 mm.
- Two falling sphere viscometer tubes of 300 x 40 mm, with marks at 0, 25, 175, 200 and 220.
- Set of stainless-steel balls of different sizes: 3.175 mm, 2.381 mm and 1.588 mm.
- Variable scale lever balance to be used with the
- Archimedes module, up to 310 gr.
- Archimedes module: displacement vessel, bucket and cylinder.
- Graduated cylinder made of glass (250 ml.)
- 2 Beakers made of glass (600 ml.)
- Digital chronometer.
A comprehensive instruction and laboratory teaching manual describing the apparatus, method of conducting experiments and analysis of data and results will be supplied along with the equipment.
Optional:
‘Sci-cal’ Software & Interface: ‘Sci-tech’ software, interface & related sensors enable plotting of require graphs through the formulae integrated into software. The students can carry out experiments and see graphs and results in ‘Labview’.
Depending on the measurement method, the measured values can be read off the analogue manometer or digital displays. The measured values are transmitted directly to a PC via USB. The data acquisition software is included.
