Large Angle Stability System

Large Angle Stability System is designed for the study of ship hydro statics and stability. A comprehensive manual provides hydro static stability and other data for ship models and includes a number of experiments which are useful to students. Exercises are conducted on a 1/70 scale model of a general cargo vessel of 28,000-tonne ship mass. Rolling, righting and the effects of flooding various compartments may be studied.

DEMONSTRATION CAPABILITIES:-

• Inclining experiment
• Influence of a free surface
• Influence of a suspended mass
• Effect of flooding various compartments
• Rolling experiments

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:-

• Apparatus designed to enable students to study ship hydrostatics and stability Supply includes
       a water tank, a floating ship model, a dynamo meter and a clinometers.
• The model supplied is a 1/70 scale model of a 28,000-tonne general cargo vessel
• It includes a number of transverse watertight bulkheads in representative positions
• The compartments are fitted with individual flooding valves
• The model is constructed of glass reinforced plastic (GRP)
• Models of other ships are available as optional accessories
• The dynamo meter measures the righting moment of the model
• It holds the model at any angle of heel within the range, with the model either free to  trim or 
       with heeling axis kept horizontal.
• It exerts no vertical force on the model
• It is floor standing, with castors and is supplied complete with counterweights
• Battery  powered  clinometers  measures  the  inclination of the model, over the range of 0-45 
       degrees.
