Experimental Flume 600x800mm

Product Description

Experimental Flume 600x800mm The experimental section is 16m long and has a cross-section of 600x800mm. 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. The closed water circuit consists of a series of water tanks and a powerful pump. The tanks are included in the system in such a way that they also serve as a gallery which you can stand on. The user can thus comfortably reach any part of the experimental section. The experimental flume has a motorised inclination adjustment to allow simulation of slope and to create a uniform flow at a constant discharge depth.
