FS-2.2 – Fluid Science Manometer – U Tube
The Fluid Science U-Tube Manometer tray includes experiments to compare the pressure created with varying flow rates against atmospheric pressure for both ends of a straight pipe.
Description
The Fluid Science range is an innovative suite of products designed to enable students to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics and Thermo Fluids by the process of learning via hands-on experimentation.
The high precision elements are supplied as modular tray-based systems which operate in conjunction with the Fluid Science service unit, multifunctional work panel and instrumentation enabling the student to conduct their own individual or group experiments.
The experiments are supplied with a highly visual user-friendly operational guide, allowing the students to understand the theory of the subject by the application of practical experimentation.
The Fluid Science U-Tube Manometer tray includes experiments to compare the pressure created with varying flow rates against atmospheric pressure for both ends of a straight pipe.
It also demonstrates how the differential pressure changes as flow rate changes across a straight pipe.

Features & Benefits
FEATURES
- Fully mobile solution
- Each service unit can be used as either a hot or cold-water supply
- Quick connect couplings for easy connection to experiment modules, self-sealing on supply unit to minimise water loss
- Digital manometer and thermometer provided with service unit
- Low voltage within the supply unit to protect users
BENEFITS
- Applied student learning via experimentation
- Common service unit can be used for either hot or cold-water supply
- Toolless assembly
- Designed to be highly visual and simple to use
- Quick setup
- Suitable for both classroom, laboratory and mobile environments
- To demonstrate the behaviour of liquid at rest – a liquid with a free surface finds its own level
- To show that the free surface of a liquid is horizontal and independent of the cross section of the container
- Comparison of pressure created with varying flow rates against atmospheric pressure for both ends of a straight pipe
- Differential pressure changes as flow rate changes across a straight pipe
