Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Cavitation Demonstration.
Cavitation Demonstration is a small scale apparatus designed to demonstrate Cavitation utilizing a Hydraulics Bench.
Three Bourdon gauges indicate the static pressure upstream of the
contraction, inside the throat and downstream of the expansion.
The apparatus consists of a circular Venturi shaped section manufactured from clear acrylic.
Downstream pressure gauge: 63mm diameter, Range 0 -1 Bar.
Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench.
Upstream pressure gauge: 63mm diameter, Range 0 to 1 Bar.
Flow control valves upstream and downstream of the test section allow
flow conditions to be optimized for the demonstration of Cavitation.
Educational software available as an option.
Can be operated independently from the Hydraulics Bench for
visualization only utilizing a cold water mains supply with 0.4
liters/sec at 2 Bar gauge.
Throat vacuum gauge: 100mm diameter, Range -1 to 0 Bar.
