Experimental Flume 309x450mm And 409x500mm

Product Description

Experimental Flume 309x450mm

The experimental flume with a closed water circuit has a cross-section of 309x450mm. The length of the experimental section is between 5m and with further extension elements a maximum of 12,5m. The side walls of the experimental section are made of tempered glass, which allows excellent observation of the experiments. All components that come into contact with water are made of corrosion-resistant materials. The inlet element is designed so that the flow enters the experimental section with very little turbulence.
