Drag Forces Module | FluidoSurge-X 352

The Drag Forces Module | FluidoSurge-X 352 by SCIENTICO is an experimental accessory for measuring drag forces and determining drag coefficients on plates, cylinders, and aerofoils. It includes a beam scale and adjustable Pitot tube for pressure and wake analysis. Designed for use with the compatible aerodynamics trainer in fluid mechanics laboratories.

The Drag Forces Module FluidoSurge-X 352 is a laboratory accessory designed for experimental determination of drag forces and drag coefficients on bodies immersed in airflow. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the unit enables quantitative analysis of flow-induced forces and wake behavior in aerodynamic studies. It is intended for use with the compatible Aerodynamics Trainer.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 352 allows measurement of drag forces acting on different body shapes such as flat plates, cylinders, and aerofoil models. The forces generated by airflow are measured using a beam scale with movable weight. A Pitot tube system enables recording of pressure distribution and velocity profiles downstream of the test body. The module supports experimental investigation of wake depression and flow behavior around bluff and streamlined bodies. The unit attaches to the compatible aerodynamics trainer using quick release fasteners for secure and accurate positioning.
