The inclination of the experimental flume can be finely adjusted to allow simulation of slope and to create a uniform flow at a constant discharge depth.

A wide selection of models, such as weirs, piers, flow-measuring flumes or a wave generator are available as accessories and ensure a comprehensive programme of experiments. Most models are quickly and safely bolted to the bottom of the experimental section. All components that come into contact with water are made of corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel, glass reinforced plastic). The inlet element is designed so that the flow enters the experimental Section with very little turbulence.

The experimental flume with a closed water circuit has a cross-section of 309x450mm. The length of the experimental section is between 5m and – with further extension elements a maximum of 12,5m. The side walls of the experimental section All made that tempered glass, which allows excellent observation of the experiments.
