Construction & Design Details
The rig is mounted on a rigid structure with a working surface protected by a plastic sheet. It consists of two main sections: the pump assembly area with motors, flexible hoses, valves, and sensors, and the water storage and measurement section with upper volumetric and lower storage tanks. The volumetric tank includes weirs, level sensors, a transparent indicator tube, graduated scale, and safety overflow to prevent misuse. All main metallic components are corrosion-resistant, ensuring durability and consistent operation in laboratory environments.
