Description

The equipment comprises a water supply system for feeding a constant load center calibrated glass tube where the different types of flow are displayed studied.

In this central glass tube, a colorant from the container at the top of the device is injected, the dye is that it allows the perfect visualization of the phenomena referred to above.

Both the dye and deposit the glass tube equipped with valves for adjusting the amount of injected dye in the first case and the second flow.
