Key Features
- Made of sheet Perspex for a clear view of liquid level and pressure
- Three orifices of the same size at different heights
- Demonstrates that liquid pressure increases with depth
About This Product
When the cylinder is filled with water, jets spout from the three holes. The jet from the lowest hole travels furthest because the pressure there is greatest, showing that pressure increases with depth. The clear Perspex gives a view of the level of the liquid while the jets flow.
