Hydraulic Bench Unit

Product Description

Description ofHydraulic Bench Unit: The DIDAC Hydraulics Bench Unit range provides the basic services for pumping and volumetric measurement of the water supply with which all the additional accessories and experiments are used. The working surface of all three units is molded in fiberglass and provides a recessed area on which to mount experiments. An integral weir tank is provided along with a volumetric measuring tank which is stepped to afford accurate measurement of both high and low flow rates. The measuring tank discharges into a fiberglass sump tank by means of a quick acting ball valve.Experimental Capabilty ofHydraulic Bench Unit: Centrifugal pump characteristicsFlow in pipes and pipe fittingsFlow through orifices and over weirsFlow in channelsBernoullis experimentWater flow measurementHydrostaticsFree and forced vorticesHydraulic machinesPipe networksReynolds numberTechnical Specifications ofHydraulic Bench Unit: Service module for pumping and volumetric measurement of water supply required to operate accessories and experiments.Moulded fibreglass work surface with integral weir tank.Stepped volumetric measuring tank.High Flow Volumetric Tank, 40 litres.Low Flow Volumetric Tank, 10 litres.Variable speed motor driven centrifugal pump.
