The hydraulic flume should be of size 150mm depth × 250mm wide × 4 meter length built with extra strong 75mm × 50mm. Thickness 4mm throughout. MS channel b for strength and rigidity. Both vertical sides provided with transparent thick 6mm Perspex for flow visualization at least for 4 meter length. The 16 gauge M.S. Sheet nearly fixed to MS angle frame with rubber packing. The upstream and downstream sections provided with two numbers of fine gates with rack (GM) pinion arrangement for accurate and smooth operation to facilitate the varying the discharge and head water. The sides provided with inverted Tee section (MS) for smooth running of movable hook gauge trolley. The tilting arrangement provided with a fine arrangement which can be operated very smoothly. The slope of the flume ranges up to ±5 degree. The tilting arrangement operated by both forward and backward slope settings. For hydraulic different types of experiments the accessories should be incorporated like:
Hook gauge 30cm length fitted on a trolley & arrangement for transverse and longitudinal movement
should be supplied. Pipe line to carry water to flume and foot valve at suction end provided.
Centrifugal pump set for supplying water to the flume provided with epoxy painted inside to prevent rust
hence increase the life of tank for total rust protection.
