Fluid Properties And Hydrostatic Bench

Experimentation:

Universal hydrometer and hydrometer jars

Falling sphere viscometers free surface tubes

Bourdon gauge

U-tube manometer

Hydrostatic pressure apparatus

Capillary tube apparatus

Utilities Required :

Electricity 1.5 kW 220 V AC, Single Phase

Water Supply (Initial fill).

Floor Drain

Floor Area 1.75 x 1.75 m

Description:

The Properties of Fluids and Hydrostatics Bench are designed to demonstrate the properties of fluids and their behavior under hydrostatic conditions (fluid at rest).

This allows students to develop an understanding and knowledge of a wide range of fundamental principles and techniques, before studying fluids in motion.

A variety of measuring devices is incorporated, either fastened to the back of the bench or freestanding. Water is stored in a stainless steel tank situated at the base of the unit.

The water can be transferred by centrifugal pump, either to an elevated open storage tank connected to a number of glass tubes for free surface studies.

Accessories:

2 hydrometer jars (clipped to stand)

1 universal hydrometer (in protective housing)

2 falling-sphere viscometer tubes (clipped to stand)

1 plastic storage box containing steel spheres

1 spirit-filled glass thermometer (in protective housing)

1 direct-reading aneroid barometer (fixed to stand)

1 parallel-plate capillary apparatus

1 capillary tube apparatus with six tubes of varying size

1 Archimedes apparatus comprising displacement vessel, machined bucket & matching cylinder

1 50ml density bottle (Pycnometer)

1 250ml plastic measuring cylinder

1 600ml glass beaker

1 Dual-scale lever balance, adapted for use with the Archimedes apparatus

Technical Details :

Universal Hydrometer                   :               Range 0.70 to 2.00 sub-divided in 0.01 intervals

Falling Sphere Viscometer                           :               40mm tube diameter

Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus                :               Comprises counter-balanced precision quadrant.
