300x450 open waterway
The open channel is a variable slope type with a width of 300mm and a depth of 450mm, and the length of the channel can be selected from 5/7.5/10/12.5/15M. The channel consists of a water storage tank, a water circulation pump, a flow meter, a channel slope adjustment device, an electric drainage gate, and a control panel.
The channel is equipped with a digital flow meter and an inclinometer, and a separate control panel manages the water flow, channel slope, and drainage gate level, with the drainage gate level setting the water depth in the channel. Pressure measurement holes spaced 25cm apart along the channel allow for analysis by connecting to a separately sold manometer or pressure display.
The FC300 comes with necessary equipment for experiments, including a sluice gate, a weir, a depth gauge, a pitot tube for total pressure measurement, and a float switch, along with an experimental manual. Additionally, various options (sold separately) are available to suit experimental purposes.
Furthermore, the included dedicated software (VDAS) can display and save water flow and channel slope data in real-time to a PC (sold separately).
