Description

A Hydraulic Bench is a self-contained water supply device that allows recirculating water from a Sump Tank into different hydraulic devices. A centrifugal Pump moves water from the Sump Tank through a hose into a Water Inlet at the top of the bench. This Water Inlet point can be used to attach close-conduit devices (e.g., a Venturi meter), or fitted with a device to allow flow into a small flume for open-channel flow tests (e.g. Weir Plate tests).

The measuring tank is stepped, for larger and smaller volumetric flow rates. A flow sensor or rotameter and  measuring beaker is used for very small volumetric flow rates. 

The top work surface enables the various experimental units to be easily and safely positioned. The equipment is installed with sensors for measurements. Flow meter provides total amount of fluid passed as well as instantaneous flow rate. Variable frequency drive electric motor is provided in conjunction with flow control valves to provide accurate flow control for different experiments.
