Rainfall Hydrographs Demonstrator Model FM 69
Sci-tech Rainfall Hydrographs Demonstrator Model FM 69 is designed to study rainfalls in laboratory.
Item Description
The unit consists of a tank filled with gravel. Water is supplied by overhead nozzles & water flow is controlled by a flow control valve. Transparent curtains are provided around the tank to avoid water spillage. To collect the runoff a measuring unit is located at one end of the tank. The measuring unit consists of motor driven traversing vessel with 17 storage compartments. An electronic console is controls the traversing vessel. Water collected in the vessel provides an immediate histogram of runoff as a function of time.
The trainer is supplied with following accessories –
Polythene sheet for impermeable catchment
Four plastic containers for reservoir storage
Permeable pipe for tile drain
Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.

Ordering Specifications
A unit designed to obtain catchment rainfall and runoff values as functions of time.
Comprising a bench- or floor-standing tank with two overhead square pattern spray nozzles
supplying water via a flow control valve, flow meter and solenoid valve.
A motor driven traversing vessel with seventeen compartments is moved by timer beneath the
outlet at a preselected rate to collect the runoff and provide an immediate display of the
hydrograph.
