Compressible Flow Bench
Product Code : LSK-HAP-10574
Compressible Flow Bench (SKU LSK-HAP-10574) is a laboratory bench for studying how air behaves when it flows fast enough for its density to change with pressure. It supports thermofluids and gas dynamics teaching in mechanical and aeronautical engineering degrees, polytechnic diplomas and advanced TVET fluid power courses. The bench is a Science Lab Supplies product, manufactured in the company's works at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sold directly to institutions, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The bench is built for experiments with air as the working fluid, where compressibility matters and simple incompressible water-flow equations no longer apply. Its detailed build, instrumentation and test-section options are agreed at enquiry stage and written into the quotation, so the specification matches the syllabus you teach.

Applications and Experiments for the Compressible Flow Bench
A compressible flow bench shows students what changes when a gas, rather than a liquid, passes through a restriction: pressure, temperature and density all vary along the flow. It is standard vocational training equipment for gas dynamics and fluid mechanics practicals at diploma and degree level.
- B.Tech / B.E. mechanical and aeronautical labs: introduction to compressible flow and gas dynamics.
- Relating pressure ratio to mass flow rate of air through a restriction.
- Comparing measured behaviour with incompressible (Bernoulli) predictions to show where they diverge.
- Diploma and TVET fluid power courses covering the compressed-air principles behind pneumatic systems.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Compressible Flow Bench is supplied as a single unit as described above; the exact instruments, test sections and any optional accessories are listed item by item on the quotation, so you can check the scope against your practical manual before ordering.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a quotation for a single bench or for several units across departments. Each quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and other benches from the fluid mechanics range can be quoted together with it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Send your specification from the contact page, collect items in the enquiry cart, or see how tenders are handled on our lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a compressible flow bench used for?
It is used to study the flow of air at conditions where its density changes, so students can see how pressure, velocity and mass flow rate relate in gas flow compared with water flow.
How is it different from a hydraulics bench?
A hydraulics bench circulates water, which is treated as incompressible. This bench works with air, so the experiments bring in compressibility effects that water-based benches cannot show.
Does Science Lab Supplies make this bench or resell it?
It makes it. The bench is produced at the company's own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and the quotation you receive comes from the manufacturer without an intermediary.
Can the bench be matched to our tender specification?
Yes. Send the tender document and required experiments through the contact page and we will confirm the configuration and quote against it item by item.
