Base Hydraulic Bench Module (Digital) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14041

The Base Digital Hydraulic Bench Module constitutes a foundational, volumetric type service unit critical for Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratories. Its design ensures a continuous and controlled water supply for conducting a wide array of experiments using various auxiliary modules. Operating as a closed water circuit, the system requires only an initial fill, after which water is efficiently recycled between the experiment module, measuring tank, and storage tank via a centrifugal pump. The unit’s core purpose is to provide the necessary controlled flow for student projects and key flow-related experiments. It is highly recommended due to its portability, non-corrosive construction (Fiber Glass option), and integrated safety features.

Core Features and Operation

The apparatus is a self-contained and fully portable mobile unit. The closed water circuit includes a centrifugal pump and a control valve for precise flow rate adjustment. The Bench Top features an integrated flow channel for preliminary flow measurements, notably using Weirs, and includes a stepped edge for secure mounting of experiment modules. Flow rate measurement is facilitated by a graduated and stepped Measuring Tank for both low and and high volumes, in addition to an independent Variable Area Flow Meter (range 10-75 liters per minute). Stilling baffles ensure minimized turbulence. Safety and operational features include a Remote Actuator for the Dump Valve, an Over Flow mechanism in the Measuring Tank, and electrical protection against overload and under-voltage. Optional features include pump performance study using a Motor Dynamometer and the Sci-Cal software for data acquisition and graphical analysis in a Labview environment.

Technical and Optional Details

Technical Details:

The base module functions as a closed water circuit utilizing a submersible pump. Flow rates are measured volumetrically using a stopwatch and the partitioned measuring tank, or via a dedicated measuring beaker for very small flows. The entire tank system is constructed from Fiber Glass.

Optional Features:

Storage Tank capacity can be increased to 250 liters.
Sci-Cal Software and Interface: Enables data acquisition via USB, real-time plotting of required graphs, and results processing in Labview, with manual data entry.
Pump Performance Study: Provision to integrate a Motor Dynamometer, inverter, digital speed indicator, and spring balance for measuring pump input and measuring head developed via pressure gauges.
