Glass Sided Tilting Flume

If
the requirement is for a flume suitable both for teaching &
project/research work then the very popular has to be the flume of
choice, offering high levels of dimensional accuracy, a wide selection
of models & accessories & formatting in various configurations. A
glass sided tilting flume with fabricated all stainless steel bed. A
working cross-section of 300mm wide by 450mm deep and available in
standard working lengths of 5m, 7.5m, 10m, & 15m. Longer lengths are
available to special order in increments of 2.5m. Completely
self-contained and comprising the working section, moulded inlet and
discharge tanks, a series of sump tanks, a pump, an electronic flow
meter, a jacking system and a control console. The channel section is
fully glazed with large clear panels of toughened glass. This is coupled
with careful design of the side support profiles to provide excellent
visibility and allow flow visualization of the full working height of
the flume. The glass panels are sealed using a rubber?? section
compressed by an aluminum alloy clamping strip. The flume bed is
manufactured to high tolerances and designed with an integral web
support frame to give the flume a high degree of rigidity and stability.
Rigid dowelled joints are used to connect the sections. The overall
strength and rigidity of the design allows excellent stability figures
to be achieved and eliminates the need to provide adjusting screws or to
perform periodic setting up of the flume to maintain its specification.
No under frame or support structure other than jacks is necessary.
