Fluid Properties & Hydrostatic Bench Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14017

This system is a comprehensive, self-contained unit that provides the necessary infrastructure (water supply, storage, and measurement capabilities) to perform a wide variety of fundamental experiments in fluid statics and dynamics.

1. Core Bench Functionality

The bench itself is the circulating and supply unit for the various experiments.

Water Storage: Water is stored in a tank situated on the lower shelf of the bench (sump tank).
Water Circulation: Water is transferred by a pump to two possible locations:

An elevated open storage tank (used for constant head experiments and free surface studies via glass tubes).
A recessed area into the working surface (to collect water and prevent spillage during bench-top experiments).

2. Auxiliary Fluid Mechanics Apparatus (Specifications)

These are the separate, included modules used to perform specific experiments:

Apparatus	Purpose / Principle	Specifications
Universal Hydrometer	Measures fluid density (specific gravity).	Range 0.70–2.00, subdivided in 0.01 intervals.
Falling Sphere Viscometer	Measures fluid viscosity (by timing a sphere falling through a liquid).	40 mm tube diameter.
Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus	Determines hydrostatic force and the center of pressure on a submerged surface.	Comprises a counter-balanced precision quadrant pivoted on knife edges.
Direct Reading Barometer	Measures atmospheric pressure.	Compensated silvered metal scale. Range 585–790 mm, subdivided in 1 mm intervals.
100 mm Dial Pressure Gauge	Measures gauge pressure in the system.	Range 0–200 kN/m² (kPa) and equivalent head of water in meters.
Deadweight Pressure Gauge Calibrator	Used to calibrate the pressure gauge.	Supplied with standard masses: 2 x 0.5 kg, 1 kg, and 2.5 kg weights.
