Teaching equipment : Vertical fluid mechanics unit

Vertical fluid mechanics unit

DESCRIPTION   The unit consists of the main components found in an hydraulic installation. A differential pressure sensor with a display and fast connectors permits measurements in various parts of the circuit. Transparent tubes are used to observe the flow. By adjusting flows and pressures, laminar or turbulent streams may be observed.

Closed circuit operation. Equipment is designed and manufactured to industrial standards.
