This equipment is designed to determine the metacentric height of a floating body and the height variation with the tilt angle. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N or a bowl (separately supplied).

The equipment consists of a rectangular pontoon. The center of gravity of the pontoon can be moved sideways by moving horizontal jockey weight.

The angle of tilt of the pontoon is indicated by a plumb-bob on a scale attached. The center of gravity of the pontoon can also be moved vertically by means of adjustable vertical weights on the mast.

Instruction manual is also included.

This equipment allows the moment caused by a fluid thrust on a wholly or partially filled plane surface to be measured directly.  This surface can be tilted.

A clear acrylic hollow quadrant is hinged with ball bearings onto a fixed arm which coincides with the quadrant center. A lever arm is also hinged on the same axis.  The quadrant can be tilted by changing the lock pin position. At the other end of the lever arm is an adjustable counter weight. 

A depth scale for water and angular scale for quadrant tilting are indicated on the quadrant.  When water is admitted into the quadrant the lever arm will tilt. Sliding weights with hanger are then applied to the arm to balance the quadrant with water.  The weight can be moved linearly on a scale such that the exact turning moment can be determined.

The apparatus rests on adjustable footings and a bull’s eye level is provided.

This equipment allows the moment caused by a fluid thrust on a wholly or partially submerged plane surface to be measured directly. This surface can be tilted.

A PVC quadrant is hinged on a shaft pivoted on knife edges which coincide with the quadrant center. The quadrant position is adjustable relative to a balance arm such that the submerged plane surface can be tilted by changing the lock pin position. A depth scale is indicated on the quadrant. When the quadrant is immersed in water, there are hydrostatic forces.

The balance arm has an adjustable counter balance and weights with a hanger. The quadrant is mounted on top of a clear acrylic tank which allows water to be admitted and drained to required level by a valve. The tank rests on adjustable footings and a bull’s eye level is provided.
