FME01 Jet Impact on Surfaces

The Jet Impact on Surfaces Unit, "FME01", designed by EDIBON, allows the study of the interaction between a moving fluid jet and different impact surfaces, providing a detailed understanding of fluid dynamics principles and their application in hydraulic and industrial engineering. Its design enables real-time observation of how the jet force varies depending on the geometry of the surface, allowing students to analyze its behavior under different operating conditions. The water flow is supplied through the Hydraulic Bench, "FME00", or the Basic Hydraulic Feed System, "FME00/B".

The FME01 consists of a cylindrical tank with transparent sidewalls, allowing clear visualization of the jet’s impact on the selected surface. Inside, a nozzle aligned with the central axis directs the water flow towards the target surface, facilitating the measurement of the applied force. For precise quantification, the unit incorporates a calibrated mass system, which balances the water force and allows measurement through a pre-adjusted reference indicator.

Additionally, the unit features adjustable supports to ensure proper leveling of the system and drainage holes at the base of the tank to prevent water accumulation and unwanted splashes, ensuring an efficient and safe working environment.
