Fluid Lab

This lab features modern instruments and apparatuses for testing various fluids and water resources.

Tests may be performed to measure fluid properties and behavior, flow measurements, piping systems, pumps and their characteristics, flow conditions, open channels, turbines, suspended sediments and bed load analysis, river flows and characteristics, flow measuring devices calibration and standardization, fluid friction, calibration of weirs, orifices, hydraulic jumps, forces on gates, hydraulic benches, flow regimes identification, flow velocities, dispersion studies, water depths and discharges; build the corresponding hydrographs; and offer technical consultations on hydraulic, and hydrologic, flow problems.
