Impact Of Jet On Vanes Apparatus
Product Code : EL-FML-11043
The Impact Of Jet On Vanes Apparatus from Lab Exports is a fluid mechanics lab setup used to measure the force developed by a water jet impinging on different target vanes, flat plate and hemispherical cup, and to compare the measured force with values predicted by momentum theory.

Key Features
- Measures jet impact force on flat plate and hemispherical cup targets
- Compares measured force directly against momentum theory predictions
- Vertical water jet strikes the target vane carried on a stem through a weight-pan arrangement
- Dead weight of moving parts counter-balanced by a compression spring
- Stainless steel chamber with glass sides for clear observation of the jet
- Self-contained water re-circulating unit with sump tank and FHP pump
Applications
The Impact Of Jet On Vanes Apparatus is used in fluid mechanics laboratories to study the momentum principle in fluid jets, helping students measure and compare the force exerted by a jet of water on flat and curved (hemispherical) target vanes with theoretical momentum calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Impact Of Jet On Vanes Apparatus measure?
It measures the force developed by a water jet striking flat plate and hemispherical cup targets, and compares it with momentum theory predictions.
Q2. What target vanes are supplied with the apparatus?
Two brass test plates are supplied: a flat plate and a hemispherical cup.
Q3. How is the jet force measured?
Weights are added to a weight pan until it balances against the jet force, indicated by alignment with a level gauge.
Q4. What is the chamber made of?
The chamber is made of stainless steel with glass on opposite sides for clear observation of the jet impact.
Q5. What utilities are required to operate the apparatus?
It requires a water supply and drain, along with a single-phase, 220V AC, 0.5 kW electricity supply.
