Construction and Design
The FluidoSurge-X 212 is built as a mobile, self-contained bench unit integrating all experimental apparatus within a single structure requiring no external laboratory services. The bench houses a 100 L storage tank and a circulation pump rated at 10 LPM at 2 m head. The metacentric height apparatus uses a molded plastic water tank nominally measuring 600 mm x 400 mm x 120 mm, paired with a floating pontoon of 360 mm x 203 mm x 76 mm providing up to 15° angular tilt on either side of the vertical center line. The hydrostatic pressure apparatus includes a 1.8 L water tank adjustable from 0 to 90° inclination with a 0 to 250 mm scale, and a lever arm adjustable from 0 to 250 mm with two 250 g weights. Pascal's apparatus incorporates three distinct vessel profiles, parallel (26 mm ID), conical (26 to 101 mm ID at top), and tapered (26 mm to 9 mm ID at top), with a diaphragm diameter of 56 mm and maximum water depth of 228 mm. The bench includes 3 to 5 capillary tubes, capillary attraction plates, and a vernier hook gauge measuring to ±0.05 mm accuracy.
