Spec Sheet Description
Centre of Pressure
The module enables to determine the hydrostatic thrust caused by a fluid on a submerged surface. It consists of a Plexiglas box containing a toroidal shaped unit mounted on a balance arm.
When the quadrant is immersed in the tank, the force caused by the water on the rectangular surface of the quadrant gives rise to a moment with respect to the fulcrum of the scales that provokes a variation in the arm inclination.
Some counterweights can be positioned at the end of the arm in order to bring it in a horizontal position. The value of hydrostatic thrust can be determined from the applied weights. A graduated scale drawn on the quadrant enables to determine the hydrostatic thrust of the water when the water level varies inside it
