Description

Experimental flumes serve as valuable tools for both teaching and research, enablingthestudyanddemonstration of essential open-channel flow phenomena on a laboratory scale. They offer insightsintovarious aspects, including flow regulation through control structures and diverse flowmeasurementtechniques. It boasts a closed water circuit and an experimental section. This section’s side walls areconstructedfrom tempered glass, ensuring excellent visibility during experiments. To maintain durability, allcomponents in contact with water are corrosion-resistant. The inlet design minimizes turbulence when introducing flow into the experimental section. Theflume’sinclination is also adjustable, enabling the simulation of slopes and the creation of uniformflowataconsistent depth. Sturdy structure with a shaker plate. A range of experiment-enhancing accessories, also available. These accessories can beeasilyandsecurely attached to the experimental section’s base, allowing for a comprehensive set of experiments.The experimental flume is equipped with a comprehensive range of functions for measurement, control.
