Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus | FluidoSurgeX 112
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus FluidoSurgeX 112 is designed to study hydrostatic thrust acting on plane surfaces. It enables measurement of the moment produced by fluid pressure on fully or partially submerged planes. The apparatus supports experiments with both vertical and inclined planes. It is intended for fluid mechanics laboratory teaching and analysis.
Product Overview
The SCIENTICO FluidoSurgeX 112 Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus allows students to experimentally determine the hydrostatic force and moment acting on a plane surface submerged in water. The setup consists of a vertical support panel carrying a transparent plastic quadrant tank that can be positioned vertically or inclined at different angles. The curved sides of the quadrant are concentric with the pivot axis, ensuring that only the force acting on the plane surface contributes to the measured moment. The moment generated by hydrostatic pressure is balanced using calibrated weights on a lever arm, allowing comparison of experimental results with theoretical calculations.

Q1. What does this apparatus measure?
It measures the moment and force due to hydrostatic pressure acting on a plane surface.
Q2. Can both vertical and inclined planes be tested?
Yes, the plane can be positioned from vertical up to 90 degrees inclination.
Q3. How is the hydrostatic moment measured?
The moment is measured using a lever arm balanced with calibrated sliding and fixed weights.
Q4. Why do the curved sides of the quadrant not affect the measurement?
Their pressure forces act through the pivot axis, producing no moment.
Q5. Is the apparatus supplied with operating instructions?
Yes, a detailed instruction manual is included in the scope of delivery.
