About Hydraulic Bench

Hydraulic Bench

The Hydraulic Bench is of volumetric type and has been designed to provide continuous and controlled supply of water to conduct various experiments using auxiliary modules in typical Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratory. The unit is an ideal service unit for conducting student projects. Once filled, no external water supply is required. Water is recycled between the Experiment Module, Measuring Tank and the Storage Tank by the Centrifugal Pump. Several experiments in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics require continuous and controlled supply of water. The Basic Hydraulic Bench provides a controlled recirculation water supply to conduct experiments.

The Basic Hydraulic Bench is a very important module and is recommended for all Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratories in Educational Institutions. It is a basic module for flow related experiments using auxiliary modules.

Convenient Operation & Maintenance

Designed for practicality, the bench features quick release fittings, a removable cleaning panel, and a quick lock drain facility. The integrated water reservoir simplifies operation and reduces set-up time, ensuring seamless transitions between experiments.

Robust & Portable Design

With epoxy-coated mild steel framework, stainless steel and acrylic components, and sturdy caster wheels, the hydraulic bench demonstrates long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent mobility for dynamic academic environments.

FAQs of Hydraulic Bench:

Q: How is the hydraulic bench maintained between experiments?

A: Routine maintenance involves draining water using the quick-lock facility, wiping surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth, and using the removable cleaning panel for thorough access to the tank and internal components. Regular cleaning prevents residue buildup and maintains hygiene.

Q: What experiments can be performed using this hydraulic bench?

A: The bench is specifically designed for fluid mechanics laboratory experiments, such as measuring flow rates, determining pump performance, and observing hydraulic phenomena. Its modular quick release connections allow compatibility with a variety of experiment modules.

Q: When should the overload protection feature be utilized?

A: The built-in overload protection operates automatically to safeguard the motor during power surges or excessive load conditions. No manual intervention is required, but it ensures the safety of both equipment and user whenever such anomalies occur.

Q: Where can the hydraulic bench be installed for optimal performance?

A: It is best placed in a level, well-ventilated laboratory environment close to a power source (220240V AC). Its portable, caster-mounted design allows for flexible positioning within teaching or research areas.

Q: What benefits does the corrosion resistant construction provide?

A: Corrosion resistance, ensured by 304 grade stainless steel and powder coated mild steel, extends the operational life of the bench, reduces maintenance, and sustains consistent performance even in humid laboratory conditions.

Q: How does the quick release fitting system enhance experiment setup?

A: Quick release fittings enable fast, tool-free attachment and removal of experiment modules. This promotes efficiency and flexibility, so users can change or reconfigure apparatus without significant downtime.

Q: What is the advantage of the analog flow meter and fine adjustment control?

A: The analog flow meter offers real-time, highly accurate readings within 1% of the full scale, while the fine adjustment by-pass valve allows meticulous flow regulation, supporting precise data collection and experimental integrity.
