The basic physical process of water hammer can be obtained by the students. The training of students’ corresponding knowledge and skills is suitable for the practical training and assessment of relevant majors in higher vocational, high school, secondary vocational schools and technical schools. This device can simulate the water hammer effect, the basic physical process contains pressure sensor, flow sensor, electromagnetic valve, etc., can cooperate to monitor software, more convenient to understand the flow and pressure of water. 

Features:

The practical training device adopts aluminum profile frame structure, which is easy to use and not easy to damage.

Include pressure sensors and flow sensors, which can be monitored by software to make observation and learning more convenient.

The pipe can be disassembled and transported easily.
