Hydraulic Bench (SMT-FM-100)

The purpose of the hydraulic bench is to provide a reliable and controlled water supply for use in fluid mechanics laboratories and water supply related experiments. It is designed to serve as a base service unit for a wide range of laboratory experiment modules that can be connected and operated conveniently.

The design includes a large base tank that stores water and supplies it to various modules through a closed water circuit. The system consists of a stainless steel lower storage tank, a powerful pump, and an upper measuring tank made of fiberglass for collecting returning water. The bench frame is constructed from steel and coated with durable powder paint, ensuring resistance to corrosion, scratches, and wear. Water flow rate is regulated using a hand-operated control valve, and an electrical control box with a pump switch is mounted on the side of the unit for ease of operation.

This bench is highly beneficial for conducting practical experiments in fluid mechanics, hydraulics, and water supply engineering. It provides accurate and consistent water flow for different test modules, enhances understanding of hydraulic principles, and offers a durable and efficient platform for repeated use in academic and research laboratories.
