Key Features

• High-Velocity Water Jet: Simulates turbine vane interaction by directing a high-speed water jet onto various test plates.

• Transparent Cylinder with Tapered Nozzle: Ensures clear visibility and optimal jet formation for accurate testing.

• Precision Force Measurement Setup: Test plates are mounted on a weigh beam assembly with a jockey weight to measure the force generated by the water jet.

• Hydraulic Bench Compatible: The system connects to a standard hydraulic bench for continuous water supply and operation.

• Integrated Draining System: A drain tube at the cylinder base allows efficient removal of excess water.

• Interchangeable Test Plates: Includes flat, hemispherical, conical, and angled plates that can be easily swapped without tools.

• Stable Leg-Mounted Design: Securely placed on a hydraulic bench for steady and safe operation.

• International Standards Compliance: Designed and manufactured to meet USA, UK, Japan, and Switzerland engineering and academic standards.

Experimental Capabilities

• Impact Force Measurement:

  • Measure and compare the force of water impact on flat and hemispherical plates.

  • Test force variations on angled flat and conical plates to observe how angles affect the impact.

• Momentum Change Analysis:

  • Compare experimentally measured forces with theoretical values based on the momentum principle.

  • Enhance understanding of fluid dynamics and conservation of momentum in jet flow systems.
