LT-FU109 Fluid Properties

Labtronic Fluid Properties offers a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience in fluid mechanics through its hydraulic bench unit. Equipped with a range of cutting-edge features, this trainer enables students to conduct a wide array of experiments with ease and precision.

The hydraulic bench unit comes with its own water source tank, complete with a submersible pump and piping system that connects to transparent tanks, allowing students to observe fluid flow during experiments. Flowrate controllable valves provide additional control, while a range of pressure measurement devices, including bourdon pressure gauges, differential pressure gauges, pressure differential manometers, pressure sensors with digital displays, and pitot tubes for static pressure, enable accurate measurement of pressure.

To further enhance the learning experience, the hydraulic unit also includes an air compressor with simple controls to produce positive and negative pressure. These pressure variations can be measured and recorded using the pressure measurement devices, allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of fluid mechanics principles.

Experimenting theories in fluid mechanics such as properties of fluids including density, specific gravity, surface tension and viscosity, Hydrostatic principle including Pascal’s, buoyancy, and Archimedes’ theory.
