Description

The unit includes a transparent tank into which water is poured. Through the system of valves and pipes, the water is distributed to the different measuring columns.

One of the water columns is equipped with an inclination system, allowing the effect of different angular positions to be clearly observed.

Both the columns and the tank are fitted with graduated scales for direct reading of the water height.

A point gauge is also included for precise measurement of the water level.

The equipment is supplied with a complete practical exercises manual.

Learning Objectives
  • Study and verification of measurement principles and techniques in fluid statics and manometry:
    • Study and verification of the hydrostatic paradox
    • Comparison between absolute pressure and gauge pressure
    • Use of the piezometric tube
    • Pressure measurement using “U”-tube, inverted “U”-tube, inclined and differential manometers
    • Use of the point gauge for measuring the water level
    • Use of graduated scales for determining the water level
    • Study of the influence of air inside the manometers
    • Study of head losses
