Features:
Compact benchtop unit with non corrosive components
Transparent components & Tubing for better visualization.
Includes precision Flowmeter & differential manometer for accurate measurement.
Tesca Permeability / Fluidization Studies Apparatus is designed to study characteristics of flow-through a bed of particles. The apparatus consists of a cylinder filled with various types of bed granular medium (for example; sand), a constant head water tank is connected to the cylinder which allows water to flow through the cylinder. Utility water supply tap passes through a constant head tank, which also allows air bubbles to be released, and is controlled by hand with a needle valve. The rate of flow is indicated by a variable area meter.
The pressure drop across the bed is measured by a 0.5m mercury manometer. Valves are fitted for isolation of various part circuits, together with air release valves. The test section tube and all tubing connections are clear color type so that the operation can be observed and present of bubbles easily detected. The apparatus framework is made of steel tubes with epoxy coated for corrosion resistance. Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.
