FLUID STATICS AND PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
The system is designed for the study of static fluid and measurement of pressure with different types of piezometric tubes.
It also features level measuring elements such as gauge scales and level meter. (Limnimeter)
It has a transparent container to distribute water through valves and pipes and it is passed into the various columns.
One water column has a tilting system, so that it is possible to clearly see the effect on different possible inclinations.
Both in water columns and in the tank there is a graduated scale to display the water height.
A level meter (Limnimeter) is also provided to accurately measuring the water level.
