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 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. Flow meter provides fluid flow rate.
