Description

The equipment has a transparent deposit, in which we will pour water, and through the different valves and pipes, the water is sent to the different columns.

One of the columns of water has a system to be able to tilt it, so that you can clearly visualize the effect of different inclinations.

In both columns and in the tank, there is a graduated scale to directly visualize the height of the water.

In addition, a limnimeter is included for precise measurement of the level of water.

The equipment is delivered with a complete workbook.

Learning Objectives
A wide range of practices and experiences can be realized, some of which are listed below:
  • Study and verification of the hydrostatic paradox.
  • Comparison between absolute and relative manometers.
  • Use of the piezometric tube.
  • Measurement of pressures with the following types of manometers:
          • in “U”
          • in “U” inverted
          • inclined
          • differential
  • Use of a limnimeter to measure the water level.
  • Use of graduated scales to determine the water level.
  • Study of the influence of the air inside the manometers.
  • Study of load losses.
