General Description

The Hydrostatics Bench and Fluid Properties, "BHI", is a compact, mobile and independent unit.

There is a water storage tank, to work in a closed system, at the bottom of the bench. The water is distributed by hand pumps from this tank to two upper tanks, which are connected to different accessories and measuring elements for its study. All excess water is returned to the storage tank through a drain.

With these connections and the elements included, the Hydrostatics Bench and Fluid Properties, "BHI", designed by EDIBON, allows the performance of experiments related to some areas of hydrostatics, such as the measurement of pressure on the ground, the study of the capillary effect, buoyancy studies, surface tension measurement, metacentric height determination, measurement of hydrostatic pressure, etc.
