About This Product
A hook gauge measures the level of a water surface very precisely. The pointed hook is raised from below until it just touches the surface, and the level is read on the scale and vernier. In hydraulics practicals it is used to find water depth in tanks and channels, for example over a weir, and to take small level changes in other fluid mechanics experiments. The vernier allows readings to a fraction of a millimetre.
