Cavitation Demonstration Apparatus

Cavitation Demonstration Apparatus .

Cavitation Demonstration isa small scale apparatus designed to demonstrate Cavitation utilizing 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 utilizing a cold water mains supply with 0.4 litres/sec at 2 Bar gauge.
