It is suitable for mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineering laboratories.
Product Overview
FluidoSurge-X 348 is equipped with a radial or centrifugal fan capable of generating controlled airflow through a vertical measuring section. The fan speed is infinitely adjustable using a frequency converter. A stabilization tank with flow straightener ensures low-turbulence, reproducible flow conditions, while a shaped nozzle provides a largely homogeneous velocity distribution. Measuring points along the test section allow pressure and velocity measurements, displayed using 16 tube manometers with adjustable inclination for improved accuracy in low-pressure readings.

Construction & Design Details
The trainer consists of a vertical measuring section integrated with a radial fan and stabilization chamber. A flow straightener reduces turbulence before air enters the shaped nozzle. Pressure tapping points are connected to 16 tube manometers for visual pressure measurement. The manometers feature adjustable inclination to improve measurement sensitivity. Accessories are mounted using quick release fasteners for fast interchange during laboratory sessions.
