Suitable for fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering teaching laboratories.

The Water Hammer Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 250 is an educational laboratory unit designed to demonstrate and study the water hammer phenomenon in pipelines. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the apparatus allows controlled visualization and measurement of pressure surges caused by sudden changes in fluid velocity. It is intended for teaching fundamental concepts of transient flow in fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering laboratories. The system operates using a hydraulic bench or laboratory water supply. Product Overview FluidoSurge-X 250 enables students to observe the formation of pressure waves when flowing water is abruptly stopped or redirected. The apparatus uses transparent components to clearly visualize the water hammer effect. Different surge pipe diameters are provided to study the influence of cross-sectional area on pressure surge and mitigation behavior. Manual control allows precise generation of transient flow conditions during experiments.
