Construction & Design Details -
The FluidoSurgeX 104 is built on a rigid painted steel structure that supports pumps, valves, and interconnecting pipework. The storage tank, measuring tank, and work surface are manufactured from GRP to ensure resistance to water exposure. Industrial grade PVC piping and nonferrous valves are used to minimize corrosion. The integrated flow channel on the work surface allows direct execution of weir experiments without additional fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What pump configurations are possible on this hydraulic bench?
The pumps can be operated individually, in series, or in parallel using the integrated selection system.
Q2. How is flow rate measured during experiments?
Flow rate is measured volumetrically using the stepped measuring tank and stopwatch, with additional indication from a rotameter.
Q3. What pressure measurements are available?
Pressure gauges are provided to measure suction and discharge pressures across the pumps.
Q4. Can this bench be used for weir experiments?
Yes, the work surface includes an integrated flume specifically for weir flow experiments.
Q5. Is data acquisition software included with the system?
Data acquisition software based on LABVIEW environment is available as an optional accessory and requires electronic sensors.
