GROUND WATER FLOW UNIT Model FM 70
GROUND WATER FLOW UNIT Model FM 70
Sci-tech Ground Water Flow Unit Model 70 consists of Sand Tank manufactured from Fibre Reinforced Plastic for durable life & corrosion free operation. The tank is mounted on a free-standing steel frame. The tank is to be filled with layer of fine sand. The tank has inlet & outlet connections at each end. Each connection has a flow control valve to maintain desired water level in the tank. The bed has 19 pressure tapings at the base that are connected to 19 tube manometer panel at the front to indicate profile of water table in the sand. For studies of abstraction, two wells are provided at the base of the tank. Water can be supplied to the unit from Hydraulic Bench or Tap Connection inside the laboratory.
| Size: | 140cm x 65cm x 90cm (LxWxH) |
| Weight: | 125 kg |
