Metacentric Height
This equipment is designed to determine the metacentric height of a floating body and the height variation with the tilt angle. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N or a bowl (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a rectangular pontoon. The center of gravity of the pontoon can be moved sideways by moving horizontal jockey weight.
The angle of tilt of the pontoon is indicated by a plumb-bob on a scale attached. The center of gravity of the pontoon can also be moved vertically by means of adjustable vertical weights on the mast.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Experiment to illustrate the floatation characteristics
- Determination of the Metacentric Height

Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesBends and Fittings Friction
The equipment measures pressure drops at various flow rates when water flow through different pipe bends, and fittings. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
All bends and fittings are connected in series with pressure tappings on both sides of each device. A water manometer with a vent valve and a hand air pump is connected to these tappings. A valve at the outlet is used to control outlet pressure.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Determination of Pressure Drop across various pipes and fittings at differing flow rates.
- Estimation of Loss Coefficient (K) or various pipes, pipe fittings and valve settings
TECHNICAL DATAPipe diameter (nominal) 20 mm. Enlarged pipe diameter (nominal) 35 mm. Bends 90º Miter bend , 90º small radius bend , 90º large radius bend Fittings 90º Elbow , 45º elbows , Sudden expansion , Sudden contraction Water manometer 8 tubes x 450 mm x 1 mm graduation Software for data display and analysis by computer (separately supplied).

Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesHydrostatics Pressure – Tilting Jar Quadrant
This equipment allows the moment caused by a fluid thrust on a wholly or partially filled plane surface to be measured directly. This surface can be tilted.
A clear acrylic hollow quadrant is hinged with ball bearings onto a fixed arm which coincides with the quadrant center. A lever arm is also hinged on the same axis. The quadrant can be tilted by changing the lock pin position. At the other end of the lever arm is an adjustable counter weight.
A depth scale for water and angular scale for quadrant tilting are indicated on the quadrant. When water is admitted into the quadrant the lever arm will tilt. Sliding weights with hanger are then applied to the arm to balance the quadrant with water. The weight can be moved linearly on a scale such that the exact turning moment can be determined.
The apparatus rests on adjustable footings and a bull’s eye level is provided.
