This product supplies a controlled flow of water to a wide variety of laboratory experiment modules (available separately). The body of the bench forms a reservoir or ‘Sump Tank’ with a submersible pump. Once filled, the bench needs no external water supply.
The top of the bench provides a working surface. This will hold one of a choice of experiment modules from TecQuipment’s Fluid Mechanics range. Larger experiments usually stand next to the bench. A rim around the top contains any spilled or excess water. A small recess or ‘Trough’ in the top works with a removable Drain Valve to trap a small volume of water. It also catches discharged water from some experiments in the fluid mechanics range.
A hand-operated control valve adjusts the water flow rate from the pump. An electrical box on the side of the bench includes the pump switch, circuit protection and a digital display of flow.
Four wheels allow the user to move the bench around the classroom. Two wheels have foot-operated locks to hold the bench in position.
A sight gauge to the lower side of the bench allows the user to check the water level inside the tank.
An electronic flowmeter measures the outlet flow from the submersible pump. The signals from the flowmeter pass to the digital display to show the flow rate. The viewing angle of the display allows the user to see it clearly from a normal standing position.
H1x is an upgrade kit to convert either a TecQuipment H1 Gravimetric Hydraulic Bench (where the flow rate is calculated by weight) or an H1d Volumetric Hydraulic Bench (where the flow rate is calculated by volume) to the latest version, the H1f Digital Hydraulic Bench (where the flow rate is recorded digitally).
All three products work as self-contained water sources and measuring systems.
TecQuipment’s latest Hydraulic Bench (the H1f) uses a flow meter and digital display to accurately measure and display water flow. This version of the bench measures and displays flow rate quickly and easily allowing students to concentrate on other elements and the theory of the experiment at hand.
The H1x kit contains all the parts necessary to upgrade earlier versions of the Hydraulic Bench so that the full advantages of the flow meter and digital display utilized by the H1f are gained.
Once installed the electronic flow meter measures the outlet flow from the submersible pump. The signals from the flow meter pass to the digital display to show the flow rate. The viewing angle of the display allows the user to see it clearly from a normal standing position.
The new Low Flow Range Display is an ancillary for measuring low flow rates of water, with low-level flow rates that the Hydraulic Bench cannot accommodate. This is particularly useful for experiments like those outlined in the Fluid Friction Apparatus that require the measurement of lower flow rates.
An apparatus to allow students to investigate the friction losses in piping systems. The large open format of the apparatus makes it ideal for students working in small or large groups.
The Francis Turbine is a reaction turbine. It is the most common turbine in the world, due to its ability to work for a wide range of applications. Its moving part (runner) is a radial impeller.
