Hydrostatic Pressure Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-MLE-13258
Jlab Export is a leading Hydrostatic Pressure Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Hydrostatic Pressure (code EL-MLE-13258) is an experimental unit for measuring the force that water at rest exerts on a submerged surface and finding where that force acts. A transparent tank tilts from 0 to 90°, and a lever arm carrying weights balances the pressure force. Each tilting-tank hydrostatics unit is built by JLab in Ambala, India.

The Physics Behind the Readings
Pressure in a still liquid rises in proportion to depth (p = ρgh), so the load on a submerged plane surface is not spread evenly. The resultant force equals the pressure at the centroid of the wetted area multiplied by that area, and it acts at the centre of pressure, which lies below the centroid because the deeper part of the surface carries more load. Once the surface is fully submerged, the deeper it lies, the closer the centre of pressure comes to the centroid.
The fill level scale on the tank shows the water level, a second scale sets the angle of inclination, and the weights on the lever arm balance the moment of the hydrostatic force, from which the resultant force and its line of action are worked out.
Experiments the Unit Covers
The unit is set up for four studies: the pressure distribution along the effective area, the lateral force of hydrostatic pressure, the centre of pressure compared with the centre of area, and the resulting compressive force. Repeating them at several water levels and angles of inclination shows how depth and tilt change the force, knowledge used in shipbuilding and in designing locks and weirs.
