Hydraulic Bench

The digital hydraulic bench provides a controlled recirculating water supply and accurate flow meter for hydraulic and fluid mechanics experiments. Including hydraulics bench mounted on lockable castor wheels and is constructed around a sturdy framework onto which all elements of the hydraulics bench are mounted. The main water storage tank from which the electrically operated external pump takes its water is situated on the framework. An on/off control on the front of the frame. The storage tank is also used as the main drain of water from the relevant detachable modules. The water is pumped into the modules and then allowed to flow/drain back into the main tank via hoses and pipe work. The pipe work connecting the storage tank and the modules ensure a closed system, which minimizes the local water requirement but allows large flow rates and pressure ranges to be accommodated. Due to its size the unit may be stored under a suitably sized laboratory bench to save space. An overflow system and drain are fitted to ensure maintenance of sensible water levels.  Digital electronic Flow meter is installed in a line to measure the flow rate.
