Simple interferences based on the use of computer and sensor technology, are often proposed and applied in known educational experiments, with successful results, giving them a modern and attractive renewal with a new educational profit. In framework of this approach, the present study proposes a different experimental set up for the verification and the confirmation of Poiseuille-Hagen' law, concerning the flow of real fluids through tubes, with considerable and useful applications in technology and medicine. In the proposed educational procedure experimental measurements of motion, force, and fluid outflow are collected using a computer program, via sensors, for the determination of hydrostatic pressure and the flow rate respectively. The dependence of the flow rate by parameters as viscosity of the fluid, length and radius of the tube and the pressure difference between the ends of the tube, are objects that allows an educational useful activity in the labor for first year students of technological faculties.
