Description

Its design is aimed at making teaching and learning easy thanks to its three differently-shaped nozzles. This enables a variety of conditions to carry out the tests.

The unit is equipped with a Pitot tube to measure the velocity of the fluid being discharged through the outlet.

In addition, the equipment has a measuring instrument of the jet diameter, which can be regulated, obtaining results of a greater accuracy.

Finally, this apparatus includes a water column manometer for the measurement of both the water level in the tank and the velocity of the water jet.
