Fluid Properties Apparatus

Product Description

Fluid Properties ApparatusA clear understanding about the physical properties of fluids is essential before studying the behaviour of fluids in static or dynamic applications.This apparatus introduces students to the following properties of fluids: Density and relative density (specific gravity)Viscosity Capillarity - capillary elevation between flat plates and in circular tubesBuoyancy (Archimedes principle)Atmospheric pressureSpecification: -Components stored on support frame manufactured from PVC2x Hydrometer jars 50 mm diameter and 450 mm highUniversal hydrometer with varying resolution of 0.01 at 0.70 SG to 0.5 at 2.00 SG2x Falling sphere viscometer tubes 40 mm diameter with calibration marks at 0, 25, 100, 175, 200 and 220 mmSpirit filled thermometer glass, Range -10o to 50o C Aneroid barometer, Range 910 to 1060 mbar6x Capillary tubes 150 mm long with 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.2, 1.7 and 2.2 mm boreDensity bottle (pycnometer), Capacity 50 ml Dual scale lever balance, Ranges 0 to 250 gms x 1gm and 0 to 1 kg x 10 gmsTechnical DetailsThe following components are included: 2x Hydrometer jars (clipped to stand) 1x Universal hydrometer (in protective housing) 2x Falling sphere viscometer tubes (clipped to stand) 1x Plastic storage box containing steel spheres 1x Spirit filled glass thermometer (in protective housing) 1x Direct reading aneroid barometer (fixed to stand) 1x Parallel plate capillary apparatus 1x Capillary tube apparatus with 6 tubes of varying size 1x Archimedes apparatus comprising displacement vessel, machined bucket & matching cylinder 1x 50 ml density bottle 1x 250 ml plastic measuring cylinder 1x 600 ml glass beaker 1x Dual scale lever balance, adapted for use with Archimedes apparatus
