Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench
Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench (Product Code: SLE/MCE/41) is a mobile laboratory trolley used to teach density, viscosity, capillarity, buoyancy and pressure measurement in fluid mechanics courses. It carries its own sealed water circuit with a 0.22 kW submersible pump and a cabinet of modules, from falling-sphere viscometer tubes to an Archimedes set, so it works without a mains water connection. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Fluid Properties Bench Used For?
Before students move on to flowing water, they need a feel for the properties that govern it, and this bench gathers those first-semester practicals on one trolley. Density is found with the 50 ml pycnometer and the hydrometer jars, buoyancy with the Archimedes module and lever balance, and hydrostatic force with the centre of pressure device. The manometers and aneroid barometer compare gauge and atmospheric pressure readings.
For viscosity, steel balls of three sizes are dropped through the falling-sphere tubes and timed between the marks, giving data for Stokes' law. The capillary tubes module, from 5 mm down to 1.2 mm bore, turns into a classic capillary tube experiment for colleges in India, showing how rise height grows as the bore gets smaller, while the parallel plates show the same effect between flat surfaces. Being on a trolley, the bench can be wheeled between rooms and shared by several groups.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its brand ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench. The trolley, pipe section and module cabinet are assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. ScienceLab is a registered MSME enterprise whose major activity is manufacturing (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and export consignments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT).
Colleges, universities, dealers and importers in India and international markets order direct from the factory, and replacement glassware or modules for the bench can be requested from the same team — ask us. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experiments can be done on the Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench?
The Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench covers density with a pycnometer and hydrometer jars, falling-sphere viscosity, capillarity in tubes and between plates, Archimedes' principle, centre of pressure, pressure on a weir, and gauge and barometric pressure measurement.
Does the bench need a mains water connection?
No. The Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench has a sealed water circuit with its own supply tank and a 0.22 kW submersible pump rated at 95 L/min and 12.5 m head, so experiments run independently of a mains water connection.
How is viscosity measured on the bench?
Viscosity is measured on the Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench with two falling-sphere tubes, 300 x 40 mm, and stainless steel balls of 3.175, 2.381 and 1.588 mm. Students time each ball between the marks and apply Stokes' law.
Which pressure instruments are included?
The Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench includes a U-tube manometer of 0 to 500 mm water column, a mercury U-tube manometer reading 270–0–270 mbar and an aneroid barometer with a 973 to 1047 mbar range, plus a -10 to 50 °C thermometer.
How large is the Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench?
The Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench measures 1000 x 800 x 1400 mm and weighs 120 kg. It is built on a laboratory trolley, so it can be moved between laboratories and shared by several student groups.
Who manufactures the Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench?
The Fluid Properties and Hydrostatics Bench is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and spare-part requests are handled directly by the manufacturer.
