FL 05.4 – 5m Flume for Hydraulic Bench
This equipment is designed to study the behavior of fluids in open channels through a wide range of experiments.
Description
HIGHLIGHTS
- 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
- Study of flow through open channels , measuring variables such as:
- Height of water.
- Speed at different points of a cross section .
- Study of uniform flow , gradually varied flow and behavior of surface profiles .
- Study and use of landfill sites for the thin-walled flow measurement.
- Rectangular weir without lateral contraction .
- Using dumps and study of thick wall for flow measurement .
- Rectangular weir .
- Triangular weir .
- Study and use of Venturi channel .
- Analysis and study of flow under doors .
- Vertical gate .
- Radial gate .
- Study of the hydraulic jump .
- Analysis of flow over spillways of dams .
* Some of the practices require optional accessories.
