A Plexiglas cylinder is equipped with an adjustable overflow and scale which enables the height of the water column to be set and read accurately. A constant head setup, including a backboard, a series of nozzles, and a Pitot tube & micrometer, is used to illustrate vertical flow and horizontal jet paths through various orifices (nozzles).

The equipment enables students to analyze water drains vertically from a transparent supply tank through a nozzle due to the hydrostatic pressure. The velocity of the jet can be measured with a Pitot tube and a U-tube manometer. The jet diameter is measured with a micrometer.
This equipment enables students to analyze the trajectory patterns of water jets from the nozzles when they are positioned horizontally. 4 types of outlet nozzle can be compared. The trajectory of the jet can be traced using adjustable probes and recorded on a white panel.
The water supply is provided either from the laboratory mains or using the Hydraulic Bench (optional)
