Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in China
Product Code : EL-FMLE-11665
Description:
• A hydrostatic pressure apparatus is a laboratory apparatus that allows students and engineers to study the behavior of fluids at rest (hydrostatics).
• It is typically used to measure the hydrostatic pressure at different depths in a column of fluid, and to demonstrate the principle of communicating vessels.
• The apparatus typically consists of a tall cylindrical container filled with fluid, and a U-tube manometer connected to the container.
• The manometer is filled with a fluid of known density, such as mercury or water.
• To measure the hydrostatic pressure at a particular depth in the container, the open end of the U-tube manometer is inserted into the container to that depth.
• The difference in the heights of the fluid in the two columns of the manometer is then measured.
• This difference in height is equal to the hydrostatic pressure at that depth.
• The hydrostatic pressure apparatus can also be used to demonstrate the principle of communicating vessels.
• Communicating vessels are vessels that are connected together at the bottom, and contain the same fluid.
• The fluid in communicating vessels will rise to the same level in each vessel, regardless of the shape or size of the vessels.
• To demonstrate the principle of communicating vessels, the hydrostatic pressure apparatus is filled with fluid and the U-tube manometer is inserted into the container.
• The open end of the manometer is then connected to a second vessel using a tube.
• The fluid in the two vessels will rise to the same level, regardless of the shape or size of the vessels.
