Description
Technical Specification
Media
The experimental flume unit is the largest one. The flow velocities that can be achieved in the experimental flume, and the long length of the experimental section, are the perfect conditions for designing your own projects. These projects can be very close approximations of reality. The experimental section is 10m long and has a cross-section of 600x800mm, also 500x600mm configuration available. 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 (stainless steel, glass reinforced plastic). 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 two powerful pumps. 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. HL-100 | Flume Flow Apparatus The experimental flume is equipped with a comprehensive range of functions for measurement, control and operation that are controlled by a PLC. Two freely positionable touch panels display the measured values and operating states and can be used to control the system. At the same time, the measured values can be transmitted directly to monitor for distant reading and to a PC via USB where they can be analysed with the software. A wide selection of models, such as weirs, piers, flow-measuring flumes or a wave generator are available as accessories and ensure a comprehensive programme of experiments. Most models are quickly and safely bolted to the bottom of the experimental section.
