Centre Of Pressure Apparatus - Elabengineering

Centre Of Pressure Apparatus The water is contained in a plexiglass quadrant whose geometrical curved side axes coincide with a measuring beam. The moment is determined by adding or removing weights to the arm. The head of water is read directly on the transparent scale to within 2 mm. Teaching objectives Measurements of the centre of pressure of a vertical plane surface at different depths. Study of the general case of a plane surface inclined at different angles, and at different depths. Technical specifications Quadrant: inner radius: 100 mm – outer radius: 200 mm – width: 75 mm. One face graduated between 0 and 30°. Fixed scale. Indicates horizontal and vertical beam position. Scale graduated to 200 mm below, and to 40 mm above the horizontal axis in intervals of 2 mm. Balance arm radius: 203 mm. The unit is supplied complete with base, weight carriers and one set of weights, and with a technical bulletin providing typical test results. Dimensions and weight 430 x 150 x 330 mm. Net weight : 5,9 kg
