Open Channel Apparatus

Specification:

[1] Investigation of flow processes in the open and closed channel

[2] Experimental flume with upper limit, made of transparent material

[3] Height-adjustable sill in the bottom of the experimental flume

[4] Water level adjustable via plate weir at the water outlet

[5] Simple conversion from open to closed channel

[6] Control structures for experiments in the open channel: broad-crested weir, narrow-crested weir, ogee-crested weir with ski jump spillway, sill, gate

[7] Fully flowed through experimental section and change in cross-section over sill for experiments in the closed channel

[8] Closed water circuit with supply tank and pump

[9] Transparent measuring tubes for measuring static pressure and total pressure
