Fluid mechanics unit

Model BCD 300

This unit consists of the main components found in an hydraulic installation. A differential pressure sensor with a display and connectors that readily permit measurements in various parts of the circuit is provided. Transparent tubes are used to observe the flow. By adjusting flows and pressures, laminar or turbulent streams may be observed. Closed circuit operation. Equipment is designed and manufactured to industrial standards. UTILITIES 230 V single-phase - 50/60 Hz DIMENSIONS Length : 2090 mm Width : 795 mm Height : 1200 mm Weight : 110 kg

Application

Loss of pressure study Descending, ascending or inclined pipe Different diameter pipes - Short radius bend Long radius bend Three different types of valves Sudden diameter increase Sudden diameter decrease Smooth or rough pipe Laminar or turbulent discharge stream Plexiglas venturi Plexiglas diaphragm
