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.
