HYDRAULIC BENCH APPARATUS

Objective:
To familiarize the important parts of hydraulic bench apparatus
Learning Outcomes (LOs) Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
At the end of the activity, the students should be able to: 1 2 3 4
1. Familiarize parts of hydraulic bench apparatus and its
functions. √
2. To study the unit operation of the equipment √

Materials:

Hydraulic bench Apparatus, timer

Theory:
Almost all engineering plant processes deal with fluids in their daily operations. This is the reason why
the students of different engineering courses must have and through knowledge and understanding of fluid
mechanics, hydraulics, and fluid kinematics. With the advent of technology, modern hydraulic machines are
manufactured and provided to universities and college institutions enabling students to experience actual study
of fluid behavior under the action of external forces thus enhancing their knowledge in hydraulics. Students
learning will be more concrete as they experience operating these hydraulic machines. Hence, hydraulic
laboratory apparatus and equipment will give a student a better perspective of the underlying fluid mechanics and
hydraulic principles taught in the lecture subject.

LABORATORY EXPERIMENT 07

Shown above is a Hydraulic Bench, a very useful apparatus in hydraulics and fluid mechanics. It is
involved in majority of experiments to be conducted in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics. Its various accessories
and the associated experimental equipment have been developed to provide a comprehensive range of
experiments. Although the experiments are generally small in scale, they are manufactured to a high-quality
standard and are designed to produce experimental results which compare favorably with theoretical and
empirical data.
Reference: Hydraulic Manual by HUMIL

Procedure:
1. Draw and label the parts of the hydraulic bench apparatus.
2. List down all the fittings, appurtenances and include its function.
3. Run the equipment and be able to calculate the volume flow rate of pump installed using the flow meter
attached. Tabulate all the data.
