About This Product
A tilting flume is used to teach open-channel hydraulics, since slope, depth and discharge can all be set and measured on one rig. On this flume the 3 H.P. centrifugal monoblock pump supplies the channel, while the flow steadying section and wave damping arrangement reduce disturbances at the test section. Flow can be watched through the side windows and depth read from the trolley gauge, which moves along and across the channel.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the slope of the Tilting Flume changed?
A screw jack changes the slope of the flume, and the bed can be set to positive or negative slopes.
How are depth and discharge measured?
Depth is measured with a hook or point gauge mounted on a trolley that gives longitudinal and transverse movement. Discharge is measured with an orifice meter and manometer.
