Flowbench Plans on a "Budget" 

• This bench can be built in a more traditional flowbench style as seen here. Drawings for this design are not supplied in the plans at this time.
• The "Traditional Design" would allow you to use water gage manometers either purchased or made from scratch using the info found on the Flowbench Forum.
• Most any vacuum blower motor can be used in either design, which would allow you to source them from most anywhere. A shop-vac could also be used making minor cabinet modifications and at a later time upgraded.
• 2-8 blower motors can be used depending on your flow needs, budget and power. You can start with 2 and add more as required at a later time.
• The bench could also be setup to use a shop vacuum (at a reduced flow depression) and can be upgraded to vacuum blower motors at a later time.
• There is no elaborate orifice disk in this design so the orifice plate can be a simple round hole in a 6" square plate to start with. You can always upgrade at a later time.
• Flow depression is controlled via electric motor control in the plans, but a manual bleed valve can be used. I'll be adding a drawing for this in the near future. Although the electric control is around $20.
