The apparatus combines visual observation with velocity and diameter measurement techniques. It is intended for fluid mechanics laboratory education and experimental verification of flow theories.


Product Overview

The SCIENTICO FluidoSurge-X 116 Orifice Discharge and Free Jet Flow Apparatus provides a complete setup for studying flow through different nozzle geometries. The system consists of a transparent Plexiglas cylinder with adjustable overflow and scale for accurate head control. Water drains vertically through interchangeable nozzles under hydrostatic pressure, allowing measurement of jet velocity using a Pitot tube and U tube manometer, and jet diameter using a micrometer. The apparatus also supports horizontal jet experiments where jet trajectories are traced using adjustable probes and recorded on a white panel.
