Key Features
• Works with TecQuipment’s
Hydraulic Bench for easy installation
• Multiple pipes and valves give two different
experiments in one product
• Two pressure sensors in one pipe to help
calculate velocity of sound
• Transparent surge tower so students can see
what is happening
• Works with TecQuipment’s VDAS® (mkII) for
real-time display of the pressure surges and
acoustic waves
