Hydrostatics And Properties of Fluids
Product Code : LSK-FM-10457
Hydrostatics And Properties of Fluids bench (SKU LSK-FM-10457) is a self-contained, movable bench carrying the equipment for a wide range of demonstrations and experiments in hydrostatics and fluid properties, from Pascal's law to metacentric height. It suits lecture-room demonstrations and student practicals in engineering degree and diploma courses. The bench is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and colleges, contractors and distributors buy it directly from there.
Specifications
A built-in reservoir supplies the water, a tank on the unit fills from it for free-surface experiments, and a drain tray beside the tank returns water to the reservoir. Much of the equipment is rigidly mounted on the bench; the rest is free-standing for use on the bench top.

Applications and Experiments for the Hydrostatics and Properties of Fluids Bench
The bench is used to run the whole introductory hydrostatics syllabus from one station: pressure transmission, manometry, gauge calibration, density and specific gravity, capillarity, viscosity, buoyancy, centre of pressure and floating-body stability. It fits the first fluid mechanics lab experiments of engineering and applied science programmes.
- B.E./B.Tech civil and mechanical: Pascal's law, manometers and Archimedes' principle.
- Centre of pressure on a submerged surface using the toroidal tank balance.
- Metacentric height with the rectangular pontoon.
- Diploma and B.Sc. practicals: specific gravity, capillary rise and falling-sphere viscosity.
Standard Scope of Supply
The bench is supplied with the fluid-level apparatus, two U-tube manometers, Eureka can, specific-gravity bottle, hydrometer, capillarity apparatus, falling-sphere viscometer, vernier point gauge, toroidal tank with balance, Archimedes beam balance set, Bourdon gauge with deadweight calibration, and pontoon with adjustable weights.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Most laboratories order one bench for demonstrations, though several can be quoted for group work. The quotation shows packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name, and any other engineering lab equipment in India from our fluid mechanics list can be included.
Science Lab Supplies, a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Enquiries go through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and tender buyers will find the process on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bench need a separate water supply?
No. It has its own reservoir that feeds the tank, and the drain tray returns water to it, so experiments run from the bench itself.
Can it be used for lecture demonstrations?
Yes. The bench is readily movable, so it can be moved into a lecture room for demonstrations and then used for student experiments in the laboratory.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies builds the bench and its fittings at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India. As the manufacturer, it sends the quotation and any technical clarification from the factory team.
How does it compare with the single-experiment units?
It combines many hydrostatics experiments on one bench, while items such as the Metacentric Height and Stability pontoon or the Center of Pressure quadrant give each experiment its own dedicated unit.
Related Hydrostatics Equipment
Colleges that want dedicated stations for group work often add single-experiment units alongside the bench. The four below each expand one of its experiments, from floating-body stability to viscosity, and can be quoted together.
- Metacentric Height and Stability — pontoon with a five-row slotted sail.
- Center of Pressure — vertical or inclined plane in a clear quadrant.
- Calibration of a Bourdon Pressure Gauge — transparent-dial gauge on a dead weight tester.
- Viscosity and Particle Drag — backlit twin-tube falling-sphere viscometer.
