Cavitation Demonstration Unit — MOE Lab Tender Details

Cavitation Demonstration Unit

Specification:
A small scale apparatus designed to demonstrate Cavitation using an  Hydraulics Bench
The apparatus consists of a circular Venturi shaped section manufactured from clear acrylic
Three Bourdon gauges indicate the static pressure upstream of the contraction, inside the throat and downstream of the expansion
Flow control valves upstream and downstream of the test section allow flow conditions to be optimised for the demonstration of Cavitation
Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench
Educational software available as an option

Technical Details:
Upstream pressure gauge: 63mm diameter, Range 0 to 1 Bar
Throat vacuum gauge: 100mm diameter, Range -1 to 0 Bar
Downstream pressure gauge: 63mm diameter, Range 0 -1 Bar
Can be operated independently from the Hydraulics Bench for visualisation only using a cold water mains supply with 0.4 litres/sec at 2 Bar gauge.
