Description

Brand: Tecquipment

Model: H8

Country of Origin: United Kingdom

Manufacturer: United Kingdom

Features:

• Should investigate the force generated by a jet striking plates (representing turbine vanes)
• The equipment should show the force produced by a jet of water
• It should consist of a transparent cylinder containing a vertically tapered nozzle and a test plate
• The cylinder should be on legs and to be mounted on the top of a hydraulic bench
• The nozzle, supplied by a hydraulic bench, should produce a high-velocity jet of water which hits the test plate
• The test plate should connect to a weigh beam assembly with jockey weight which measures the jet force
• Should have a drain tube in the base of the cylinder
• All test plates should be easily interchangeable, taking only a few seconds and needing no tools

Experimental Capabilities:

• Measurement of the impact force on flat and hemispherical plates and comparison with momentum change
• Measurement of the impact force on an angled flat plate & conical plate and comparison with momentum change

Technical Parameters:

• Flat plate: 74mm dia. or higher, normal to and coincident with the jet axis
• Hemispherical plate: 60mm diameter or higher
• Conical plate: Minimum 75mm dia. 120°
• Angled plate: Minimum 75mm dia. 30°
• Jockey weight: Minimum 600g
• Weight beam scale: 250mm or higher in 1mm divisions
• Nominal nozzle diameter: 10mm or higher
• Nominal distance from nozzle tip to impact point on vane: 35mm or higher
• Should be supplied with all necessary pipe clips, tubing and printed operation manual

Hydraulics Data Management System Software:

• Simple software tool for manual data entry and recording of data for hydraulics experiments
• Intuitive and easy-to-use, with clear, customisable display and layout options
• Automatic calculation, charting and data export for efficient use of students’ and lecturers’ time
• Recording data manually
• Display of data in digital form or as an analogue meter
• Logging of data for printing and later analysis
• Export of data to Excel
• Perform calculations of recorded data
• Create charts with live updates as data is entered
