Apparatus EDC-FM-150 used for learning of seepage and groundwater flows. It contains a closed water
circuit with pump and flow control valve with rotameter for the measurement of flow at inlet. The central
element is a sand-filled, stainless steel experiment tank with inclination adjustment. To study rainfall,
piping is on the top for artificial rain with control valves to operate manually on different area of the
experimental bed. Two tanks one at inlet and other at outlet for advance measurement of flow and
problems in sediment transport.
Specification
