Scaled Down fluid handling system; suppliers?

[DYNAMOENG]

Hello,

I have just completed a design contract for an industiral fluid handling process. I wish to build a scaled down model of the full system. Are there any suppliers that can supply miniature hardware: tanks, level controls, valves, pumps etc?

Thanks in advance,

Callum

If you are talking a working model, I think your best approach would be to checkout the smallest size of equipment you used in the actual equipment. When you star getting into the the benchsale and pilot plant equipment the cost is way out of proportion.

If you are talking a table top model again if you can get it built the cost will be of this world.

The common approach now is to get program that can generate a Walk Through presentation.

Hi unclesyd,

Thanks for your reply.

I was just curious to see what was on the market.

Maybe the system wouldn't need to be fully automatic as this is where the cost could escalate.

Can you advise software names that could generate a walk-through presentation?

Thanks,

Callum

Here is just one of many out there. They come in all degrees of complexity and there are some that work quite well with simpler layouts.
You need to check around to see what is applicable to your situation at some meaningful price
