Marine Educational Hydrodynamic Range

NEW !!  Download our New Educational Marine Brochure here

Introduction

Cussons Technology has built on the success of its Kempf & Remmers Range of Research Hydrodynamics test equipment and its knowledge of educational section to produce a new range of Educational hydrodynamic equipment to compliment smaller facilities. The Equipment is designed to be robust for student use, and consistent in its results and accuracy as many of the components are inherited from the Kempf & Remmers Range.

The Purpose is to allow the lecturer demonstrations to be carried out with ease, and for the students to undertake a range of experiments with repeatable results and reasonable accuracy.

The Products are design to be cost effective and complimentary. Each product can be sold as individual product range, but when supplied within a complete facility some savings can be achieved by the use of a common data acquisition system

The initial Educational Range of Hydrodynamics equipment comprises the following products listed below.  Please click on the links to download the corresponding PDF files.
