Hydrostatic Pressure in Liquids Teaching Equipment

The weight of fluids at rest produces hydrostatic pressure, also known as gravitational pressure. This pressure acts on surfaces in contact with the fluid and produces a force proportional to the size of the area. The study of hydrostatic pressure is important in various engineering applications, including shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering, sanitation and building services.

This experimental unit is designed to investigate hydrostatic pressure in liquids at rest. The effect of water pressure can be clearly demonstrated at different water levels and angles of inclination.

The unit consists of a transparent tilting water tank with a scale for measuring the water volume. A second scale is provided for adjusting the inclination angle of the tank. The system is balanced using a lever arm and different weights, allowing the resulting compressive force to be measured.

Manufactured by Atico Export with attention to applicable quality, safety and functional requirements for technical education applications.
