Horizontal Osborne Reynolds Demonstrator | FluidoSurge-X 224

The Horizontal Osborne Reynolds Demonstrator | FluidoSurge-X 224 by SCIENTICO is a laboratory apparatus for visualizing flow regimes in pipe flow. It enables observation of laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow using controlled ink injection in a horizontal plexiglass tube. The unit supports determination of the critical Reynolds number under constant head conditions. Suitable for fluid mechanics teaching laboratories.

The Horizontal Osborne Reynolds Demonstrator FluidoSurge-X 224 is a laboratory apparatus designed to study flow regimes in internal pipe flow. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the unit enables clear visualization of laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow. The horizontal configuration allows precise control of ink injection and flow conditions. It is suitable for fundamental fluid mechanics experiments in academic laboratories.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 224 consists of a horizontal transparent experimental pipe section supplied with water under a constant head. A raised supply tank with overflow ensures stable inlet conditions and consistent flow rate. Ink is injected into the flow to visualize streamlines, making it possible to observe the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. The critical Reynolds number is determined by measuring the flow velocity at the point of transition.
