FL 05.3 – Flow Channel 5m

This equipment is designed to study the behavior of fluids in open channels, by performing a wide range of experiments and experiments.

Description
HIGHLIGHTS
    • Standalone operation, as long as it is connected to the power supply.
    • Choice between  negative and positive channel slope.
    • A range of devices for reading different parametres, manometric gauges, limnimeter, Pitot tube, etc.
    • Wide range of accessories to study multiple phenomena.
    • It includes a valve to regulate the appropriate flow rate at any moment.
    • The flowmeter provides readings of  the workflow rate  at any time.
IMPORTANT NOTE
    • We can provide a range of flow channels in various sizes. Consult without compromise.
Learning Objectives
