Cavitation Apparatus
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9921
The Cavitation Apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9921) demonstrates cavitation in water flowing through a transparent convergent-divergent section. JaincoLab manufactures this cavitation apparatus for fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines practicals in mechanical and civil engineering colleges and polytechnics, where students increase the flow until vapour bubbles form at the throat and compare the measured pressures with theoretical values at the cavitation condition.
Specifications
The test section is made of acrylic with convergent and divergent parts and pressure tappings at the appropriate positions, read on two pressure gauges; an upstream control valve and a bypass regulate the flow in a closed circuit with sump tank, measuring tank and centrifugal pump.

Applications of the cavitation apparatus
The cavitation apparatus lets students see the onset of cavitation where the local pressure falls at the throat and relate it to the measured pressures, which supports the study of cavitation in pumps, turbines and valves in fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines courses.
- Observing the phenomenon of cavitation in a convergent-divergent passage
- Comparing theoretical and actual pressures at the cavitation condition
- Measuring flow with the measuring tank at different valve settings
- Fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines practicals in engineering colleges and polytechnics
Scope of supply and ordering

Frequently asked questions
What is the test section made of?
Acrylic, so the formation of cavitation bubbles in the convergent-divergent passage can be seen.
How are pressures measured?
Two pressure gauges are connected to the pressure tappings on the test section.
Is the unit self-contained?
Yes. It is a closed-circuit unit with its own sump tank, measuring tank and centrifugal pump.
