Features & Benefits
Exercises are conducted on a 1/70 scale model of a general cargo vessel of 28000 tonnes ship mass.
Rolling, righting and the effects of flooding various compartments may be studied.
Optional alternative ships models are also available for study.
- Inclining experiment
- Influence of a free surface
- Influence of a suspended mass, (with the optional crane ship model)
- Effect of flooding various compartments
- Rolling experiments
The model supplied is a 1/70 scale model of a 28000 tonne general cargo vessel
– It includes a number of transverse watertight bulkheads in representative positions
– The compartments are fitted with individual flooding valves
– The model is constructed of glass reinforced plastic (GRP)
– Models of other ships are available as optional accessories
- Apparatus designed to enable students to study ship hydrostatics and stability
- Supply includes a water tank, a floating ship model, a dynamometer and a clinometer
- The dynamometer measures the righting moment of the model
- It holds the model at any angle of heel within the range, with the model either free to trim or with heeling axis kept horizontal
- It exerts no vertical force on the model
- It is floor standing, with castors and is supplied complete with counterweights
- Battery powered clinometer measures the inclination of the model, over the range of 0 to 45 degrees
NA8-14 Trawler Model: A 1/25 scale model of an ocean going trawler of 850 tonnes ship mass constructed in glass reinforced plastic (GRP). The hull is fitted with a number of transverse watertight bulkheads in their correct positions. Flooding valves are fitted.
NA8-15 Crane Ship Model: A 1/50 scale model of a crane ship typical of those used in off-shore industries. The hull is ballasted and fitted with a moveable derrick supplied with a number of masses for suspension.
