instantaneous readout. The readings are passed from
the control box to the PC software, which plots results
for student analysis. The data can also be logged and
loaded into Excel for further investigation by students. Multitube Manometer
FUNDAMENTAL FLUIDS
The multitube manometer module permits
comparative pressure measurement between 0 and
120mm of water (0-1200Pa).
The module features:
• Three input pressure ports at the bottom, each

• One reference pressure port that is common to all FUNDAMENTAL MECHANICS
The Pump module has an operating voltage of 6-24v three limbs at the top.
and produces a free-flow flow rate of 13 litres/min. It
works alongside the control box, to pump water around • A pipette filler (supplied) as a convenient method of

to be made between the three input pressure ports.

Differential Pressure Sensor

The Differential pressure sensor module is used to U-Tube & Inclined Manometer

• True wet/wet differential sensing The U-tube and inclined manometer has a measurement
• Easy-to-use, built-in air bleeding system range of 0-110mm.
• Pressure sensing range 0-30 PSI (0-200000 Pa) 4mm tubing is attached to the pressure ports using
• Robust construction, simple push fit fittings using easy-to-use push-in fittings. The inclined manometer
indexes to positions at 30°,60° and 90° from horizontal.
