Features: The unit consist of a quadrant assembled to the arm of a scale that swings around an axis. The quadrant is immersed in the water tank, the force that acts on the flat rectangular front surface exerts a momentum with respect to the supporting axis. The swinging arm have fitted with a tray and an adjustable counter balance. The tank has adjustable supporting legs for levelling. It has a drainage valve. The level reached by the water inside the tank is indicated by a graduated scale.
