Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Laboratory features a Hydrostatic bench for testing static liquids. It also contains a Hydraulic bench that may be used for testing of pumps and turbines at variable flows and configurations. Pipe networks and pipe-friction laboratory apparatus provide an opportunity to test various pipe materials and configurations in a water supply network.
