Darcys Law Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JA-ELA-5531
The Darcys Law Apparatus (SKU JA-ELA-5531) is a fluid mechanics set-up made by JaincoLab for verifying Darcy's law and finding the coefficient of permeability of a porous medium. Water flows through a clear acrylic cylindrical test section in a pipeline; pressure tappings on the test section lead to a differential manometer, and the flow rate is found with a measuring tank and stopwatch. The unit is self-contained, recirculating water from a sump tank with a centrifugal pump.

Experiments
Darcy's law states that the flow rate through a porous medium is proportional to the hydraulic gradient across it; the constant of proportionality gives the coefficient of permeability.
- Verifying the linear relation between flow rate and head loss
- Finding the coefficient of permeability of the porous medium
- Repeating the test at several flow rates set with the valves
Scope of supply and ordering

Frequently asked questions
How is the flow rate measured?
With the measuring tank and a stopwatch.
How is the pressure difference measured?
Pressure tappings on the test section are connected to a differential manometer.
Does it need a continuous water supply?
No. It is a closed-loop unit that recirculates water from its sump tank.
