The Hydraulic Bench with Flowmeter permits a varied experimental cross-section in the fundamentals of fluid mechanics. The unit provides the basic equipment for individual experiments, the supply of water in the closed circuit. The determination of volumetric flow rate and the positioning of the experimental unit on the working surface of the base module and the collection of dripping water.
The closed water circuit consists of the underlying storage tank with a powerful centrifugal pump and the measuring tank  arranged above, in which the returning water is collected. The measuring tank is stepped, for larger and smaller volumetric flow rates. Flowmeters are used to measure small and large flow rates. The volumetric flow rates can also be measured using a stopwatch. The top work surface enables the various experimental units to be positioned easily and safely. A small flume is  integrated in the work surface, in which experiments with weirs are conducted.
