FLUID PROPERTIES & HYDRO STATICS BENCH

Fluid Properties & Hydro statics Bench: MTFM-07

The equipment is mounted on a steel-framed bench fitted with castors. A variety of measuring devices is incorporated either fastened to the back of the bench or free-standing. Water is stored in a polythene tank situated on the lower shelf of the bench.

The water can be transferred by two positive displacement hand pumps either to an elevated open storage tank connected to a number of glass tubes for free surface studies or to a plastic sink recessed into the working surface so that bench top experiments may be conducted without spillage. All excess water is returned to the storage tank via the sink drain.
