Osborne Reynolds Apparatus
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9955
The Osborne Reynolds Apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9955) is a floor-standing unit for the classic Osborne Reynolds experiment on laminar and turbulent flow. Liquid flows vertically through a precision-bore glass tube, and a fine dye stream shows the flow regime against a white background. JaincoLab supplies this Osborne Reynolds apparatus to engineering colleges and polytechnics for fluid mechanics practicals.
Specifications
Fluid enters a cylindrical constant head tank through a ring diffuser and stilling bed, then passes through a profiled bellmouth into the vertical glass tube inside a shroud; dye flows through a fine stainless steel tube controlled by a needle valve, and a globe valve in the base sets the flow. Tube bore and dimensions are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the Osborne Reynolds apparatus
The Osborne Reynolds apparatus lets students watch the dye trace change from a straight line to a dispersed pattern as flow increases and calculate the Reynolds number at each regime, the core experiment on laminar and turbulent flow in fluid mechanics.
- Observing laminar, transitional and turbulent flow
- Determining the Reynolds number at the change of regime
- Studying the effect of viscosity by changing fluid or temperature (external circuit not supplied)
- Fluid mechanics practicals in civil, mechanical and chemical engineering courses
Scope of supply
The listing covers the apparatus with stilling bed, connecting hoses, an initial supply of dye and an instruction manual. Equipment for measuring the flow volumetrically or by weighing, and any circuit for changing fluid temperature, are not supplied. Accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and lead time
Minimum order quantity, lead time and packing are confirmed on each quotation for the number of units and the delivery destination. The apparatus is supplied by JaincoLab singly or with other flow visualisation units for colleges and tender orders.
