Objectives
 To study the main parts of hydraulic bench and to know about its
function in fluid lab.

Apparatus Description
HYDRAULIC BENCH
The Hydraulic Bench Apparatus comprises of a self-contained, water re-
circulating unit provided with a top tray and a sump tank and is mounted
on wheels. Various Hydraulic experiments can be conducted on this
setup. A Centrifugal Pump is fitted for water circulation. Flow control
valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the
experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with
the help of measuring tank and stop watch. Water collected on the top
tray from experimental setup, drains and return to sump tank.
The Following Experiments Can Be Carried Out With Common Basic
Table with Separate Experimental Setup which Can Be Connected To
Hydraulic Bench with Flexible Pipe

 Bernoulli’s Theorem Apparatus

 Orifice and Mouth Piece Apparatus
 Flow measurement by Venturimeter and Orificemeter
 Losses due to Friction in Pipe Lines & Verification of Darcy’s law
 Losses in Pipe fitting and pipe bends
  Reynold’s Number study
 Flow over notches and weirs
 Impact of Jet on Vanes
 Pitot Static Tube
