Compact Pelton/Francis Turbine Test Set
This is a self contained 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, a Pelton and a Francis turbine connected in parallel, a dynamometer for each turbine, and measuring instruments. The unit is on adjustable footings.
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 AccessoriesHydrostatics Pressure – Tilting Submerged Quadrant
This equipment allows the moment caused by a fluid thrust on a wholly or partially submerged plane surface to be measured directly. This surface can be tilted.
A PVC quadrant is hinged on a shaft pivoted on knife edges which coincide with the quadrant center. The quadrant position is adjustable relative to a balance arm such that the submerged plane surface can be tilted by changing the lock pin position. A depth scale is indicated on the quadrant. When the quadrant is immersed 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 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
- Determination of the Centre of Pressure
TECHNICAL DATAQuadrant Inner radius 100 mm – Outer radius 1 lot. – Width 75 mm Tilting angle 0 to 30 degrees in either direction. Weights 1 lot. Software for data display and analysis by computer (separately supplied). (0 reviews) -
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)
