Product Overview
Useful to understand the concept of pressure variation in a liquid with respect to the depth and direction. A hollow pressure capsule covered with a silicone rubber membrane is connected to an open-end manometer. To perform hydrostatic pressure experiments, immerse the capsule in a deep container with water and connect it via a hose to one end of a manometer. The manometric capsule receives pressure depending on the depth and the specific gravity of the liquid. The pressure is transmitted from the capsule to the manometer through the air contained in the hose and causes the water level to deviate from the resting position on the manometer legs. The drum has a rotating mechanism, via a drive belt, so that it can be turned at different angles to show that the pressure is independent of the direction. The kit includes a tall form plastic beaker, pressure capsule, tubing, and open-end manometer.
