Hydraulic Bench

The Hydraulic Bench is volumetric type and has been designed to provide continuous and
controlled supply of water to conduct various experiments using auxiliary modules in typical Fluid
Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratory.
It is involved in majority of experiments to be conducted for example, to find the value of
the co-efficient of velocity ‘Cv’, coefficient of discharge ‘Cd’, to study the characteristics of flow
over notches, to find metacentric height, to find head losses through pipes, to verify Bernoulli’s
theorem, etc.
 U-tube Manometer

Measuring pressure is important in the engineering industry, e.g. in plant, turbomachine

and aircraft construction and in process engineering. Other fundamental factors such as flow rate
or flow velocity can also be determined based on a pressure measurement.

It enables the user to measure the pressure with two different measuring methods:
directly by measuring the length of a liquid column (U-tube manometer, inclined tube manometer)
and indirectly by measuring the change of shape of a Bourdon tube (Bourdon tube pressure
gauge).
