GUNT Stability of Floating Bodies

The GUNT Stability of Floating Bodies (HM 150.06) allows the study of hydrostatic stability and the determination of the metacentre of floating bodies. It demonstrates how a floating body rights itself from a heeled position and enables the measurement of buoyancy and centre of gravity adjustments.

Product Features

  • Transparent tank for water experiments
  • Floating body with rectangular frame cross-section
  • Clamped weights adjustable horizontally and vertically to change centre of gravity and heel
  • Scales for reading weight positions
  • Clinometer for measuring heel angle
  • Graphical determination of metacentre
  • Optional accessory HM 150.39 for experiments with different frame shapes
  • Designed for easy setup and small-group practical work

Benefits

  • Hands-on learning of hydrostatic stability concepts
  • Visual understanding of buoyancy and metacentre
  • Flexible experimentation with adjustable weights and heel
  • Supports practical work in education and training environments

Why Choose GUNT Stability of Floating Bodies?

The GUNT HM 150.06 Stability of Floating Bodies unit provides a practical, accurate, and engaging way to study hydrostatic stability, metacentre determination, and buoyancy effects in floating bodies for educational and laboratory applications.
