Key Features
• High-Velocity Water Jet: The apparatus is designed to investigate the impact force produced when a high-velocity jet of water strikes plates, simulating turbine vanes.
• Transparent Cylinder with Tapered Nozzle: The cylinder, containing a vertically tapered nozzle, ensures optimal jet formation for accurate impact testing.
• Test Plate Mounting: The test plate is connected to a weigh beam assembly with a jockey weight, which is used to measure the jet force.
• Hydraulic Bench Compatibility: The nozzle, which is supplied by the hydraulic bench, generates a high-velocity jet of water that strikes the test plate.
• Draining System: The cylinder includes a drain tube at the base to allow for the removal of excess water during testing.
• Easy-to-Interchange Test Plates: Test plates (flat, hemispherical, conical, and angled) are designed to be easily interchangeable, with no tools required for quick changes.

• Leg Mounting: The apparatus is mounted on legs and placed on top of a hydraulic bench, making it stable and easy to operate.
• Standards Compliance: Manufactured according to USA, UK, Japan, and Switzerland standards to ensure reliability and accuracy.

Experimental Capabilities
Impact Force Measurement:
• Measure the impact force on flat and hemispherical plates and compare results with momentum change.
• Measure the impact force on angled flat plates and conical plates to observe how the angle of incidence affects force.
• Momentum Change Comparison: Compare the measured force with theoretical calculations based on momentum change in the jet.
