Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What principle does FluidoSurge-X 232 operate on?
It operates on the differential pressure principle based on Bernoulli’s equation.
Q2. How is the pressure difference measured?
The pressure difference is displayed using a manometer connected across the orifice.
Q3. Is the flow path visible during experiments?
Yes. The transparent acrylic pipe section allows clear visualization of the orifice.
Q4. Can the unit be used without a hydraulic bench?
Yes. It can also be operated using a laboratory water supply with proper drainage.
Q5. What experiments can be performed with this apparatus?
Flow rate measurement, continuity law verification, and pressure loss studies can be performed.
