The Enzo Levi Hydraulics Laboratory

It offers services for experimentation in basic hydraulics, scaled-down physical models, development and testing of hydraulic measuring and control devices, and assessment of commercially available hydraulic devices. It also supports experimentation for research, design, revision, evaluation, and learning activities in the field of hydraulics. It has a certification area accredited by the Mexican accreditation Agency, EMA (Entidad Mexicana de Acreditación, A.C.), for the 122 tests listed in the accreditation document MM-101-017/01.
