SEDIMENTATION TRANSPORT DEMONSTRATION CHANNEL Model FM 75

Sci-tech Sedimentation Transport Demonstration Channel Model FM 75 allows demonstration of the full range of bedforms that arise in a mobile bed as the flow and/or slope are increased.

The channel can be used to perform most of the experiments and demonstrations usually undertaken in much larger laboratory flumes, but at much lower cost and without the need for technician back up.

The equipment is portable, and therefore may be used in the classroom as well as in the laboratory. This demonstration flume can play a useful role in any course concerning the mechanics of open channel flow and sediment transport, including those in departments of civil engineering, geology and physical geography.

Size: 200cm x 60cm x 90cm (LxWxH)
Weight: 120 kg
