Fluid Properties & Hydrostatics Bench

•  A self-contained and mobile unit for demonstration of the properties of fluids and hydrostatics.
• The equipment is mounted on a steel-framed bench fitted with castors.
• The bench top incorporates a recessed plastic sink.
• A variety of measuring devices is incorporated in the unit including a universal hydrometer, range 0.70 to 2.00; falling sphere viscometer; hook and point gauge; hydrostatic pressure apparatus; Pascal’s apparatus; double scale lever balance with displacement vessel; bucket and cylinder; metacentric height apparatus; direct reading barometer range 585 to 790mm; dial pressure gauge range 0 to 200 kN/m2 (kPa); dead weight pressure gauge calibrator with weights; thermometer range -10°C to +50°C.
• These devices allow a full range of 16 experiments to be carried out, demonstrating the properties of fluids, the effects of static pressure, the operation and application of pressure gauges and manometers and the investigation of the stability of floating bodies.
• A comprehensive manual is included describing how the experiments are performed as well as how to commission the equipment.
