Hydrostatics And Properties Of Fluids
Experiment

CENTRE OF PRESSURE
A pivoted clear plastic assembly which students use to find the centre of pressure of a totally or partially submerged plane surface. Compact, self-contained and excellent for classroom demonstrations.

METACENTRIC HEIGHT AND STABILITY
A bench mounting apparatus to determine the stability of a pontoon with its centre of gravity metacentric height and metacentre at various heights.

HYDROSTATICS AND PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS
For a vast range of demonstrations and experiments. Includes density, specific gravity, Pascal's law and Archimedes law buoyancy and stability, pressure measurement and much more. Mobile, self-contained and cost-effective.

SURFACE TENSION BALANCE
Searle's torsion balance with scale and pointer for the determination of the surface tension of liquids.

HARES TUBE
Hares tube to establish the specific gravity of a liquid when compared with water.

CALIBRATION OF A BOURDON PRESSURE GAUGE
A bench mounting apparatus for calibrating Bourdon type pressure gauges using deadweight techniques.

VISCOSITY AND PARTICLE DRAG
Shows the drag coefficient of different sized particles (spheres) and the viscosity of liquids.
Ancillary

HALF CIRCLE AND VEE CHINE PONTOONS
The half-circle and Vee Chine pontoons are an optional extra for the Metacentric Height and Stability experiment (H2 MKII) that allow the student to compare the stability of different hulls.
