Large Angle Stability System
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9951
The large angle stability system (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9951) lets students study ship hydrostatics and stability at large angles of heel. It comprises a water tank, a floating 1/70 scale GRP model of a 28,000 tonne general cargo vessel, a dynamometer that measures the righting moment and a battery-powered clinometer. It is supplied by JaincoLab for naval architecture and fluid mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and maritime training institutes.
Specifications
The large angle stability system has a floor-standing water tank on castors with counterweights, a 1/70 scale GRP cargo ship model with transverse watertight bulkheads and individual flooding valves, a dynamometer and a clinometer reading 0 to 45 degrees.

Experiments on the large angle stability system
The large angle stability system lets students measure the righting moment of a ship model at angles of heel up to 45 degrees, draw its curve of statical stability and see how flooding a compartment changes stability.
- Righting moment and curve of statical stability at large angles of heel
- Stability with the model free to trim or with a horizontal heeling axis
- Effect of flooding individual compartments
- Comparison of measured stability with hydrostatic calculations
- Ship stability practicals in naval architecture and maritime training courses
