Impact of a Jet Apparatus



Specification

The Impact of a Jet Apparatus module consists of a cylindrical tank with lateral transparent surfaces where a nozzle, connected to the Hydraulics Bench is aligned with a device in which the problem surface is fitted.
The vertical force made by the water against the surface is measured using calibrated weights that balance this force.
Taking as a reference a gauge, which has been previously adjusted to a zero reference, we measure the force thanks to a mark that appears on the surface where the masses were placed.
The dead weight of the moving parts is counterbalanced by a compression spring.
The vertical force exerted on the target plate is measured by adding the weights supplied to the weight pan until the mark on the weight pan corresponds with the level gauge.
Holes made on the tank base in order to drain the water.
In this way, splashes are avoided.
