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 AccessoriesImpact of a Jet
This equipment provides measurement of force developed by a water jet on different stationary targets. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a removable clear acrylic cylinder. Water is supplied through a tube at the bottom of the cylinder and discharged vertically through a nozzle onto a target plate. Each plate maintains the same working distance from the nozzle. A clear acrylic guard is provided to prevent water jet from splashing on the target. Force on the plate pushes its stem upward. Dead weight is then applied on the stem to counter balance the force exerted by the water jet. This balance is indicated by a pointer on a steel rod next to the weight. The apparatus rests on adjustable footings and a bull’s eye level is provided.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTSDetermination of the reaction of a jet striking different targets mounted normal to the jet direction, at different flow rates

Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesOrifice and Jet Flow
This equipment allows determination of coefficient of velocity and coefficient of discharge under various constant heads for two different orifice diameters. Comparison of jet trajectory with that by theory of mechanics can also be made. The equipment is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a removable clear acrylic cylinder with sharp edge orifice installed at and flush with the lower inside wall of the cylinder. An adjustable overflow allows various constant heads for the test and trajectory of the jet is indicated by probes on the jet path. Heights of the probes are indicated by scales. The apparatus rests on adjustable footings and a level gauge is provided.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Comparison of the actual and theoretical outlet velocity
- Calculation of discharge coefficient
- Determination of the contraction and velocity coefficients
- Determination of discharge characteristics (jet trajectory) for an orifice mounted in the side of a vertical tank and comparison with simple theory
TECHNICAL DATAOrifice diameter 2 different sizes. Trajectory probes 8, stainless steel Measuring cup 1 L Software for data display and analysis by computer (separately supplied). (0 reviews)
