Mini Pelton/Francis Turbine Test Set
This is a self contained bench top set of Pelton and Francis turbines, designed for studying the turbine characteristics under various flow rates and heads.
The unit consists of a pump, a storage tank on a steel base, a mini Pelton and a mini Francis turbine connected in parallel, a dynamometer for each turbine, and measuring instruments.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
Each turbine can be tested on the following:
- Torque vs speed at various heads and flow rates.
- Power output vs speed for various heads and flow rates.
- Efficiency vs speed for a given head and flow rate.
- Racing characteristics.

Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesPitot Tube Apparatus
This apparatus is for a study of velocity distribution across pipe section for a water flow in pipe, and for measurement of flow velocity. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
The apparatus consists of a total head tube and a static head tube for the Pitot, clear acrylic pipe, inlet and outlet, and an inclined manometer. The total head tube can be moved up or down vertically with a scale for indication of the tube position. Differential pressure is measured by a multiple inclination manometer.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Accuracy of pitot tube meters
- Losses and k value
- Calculation of the coefficient of discharge
TECHNICAL DATAAcrylic tube 34 mm. diameter. Total head probe 1 ea. Inclined water manometer 0-450 x 1 mm graduation. Software for data display and analysis by computer (separately supplied). (0 reviews) -
Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesHydrostatics Pressures
This equipment allows the moment caused by a fluid thrust on a wholly or partially submerged plane surface to be measured directly.
A PVC quadrant is mounted on a balance arm pivoted on knife edges which coincide with the quadrant center. When the quadrant immerses in water, there are hydrostatic forces. The balance arm has an adjustable counter balance and weights with a hanger. The quadrant is mounted on top of a clear acrylic tank which allows water to be admitted and drained to a required level by a valve. The tank rests on adjustable footings and a bull’s eye level is provided.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Visual demonstration of the Shear Force and Bending Moment at a cut section in a beam
