Open Channel Flow
Roughened Bed - Sand
One set of 3 x 1500 mm weighted lengths of sand flume bed (with removable handles to aid fitting and removal). The sand
grade used is 1–2 mm. Used to simulate flow over sandy beds.
For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.
Roughened Bed - Turf
One set of 3 x 1500 mm weighted lengths of flume bed (with removable handles to aid fitting and removal). The bed is textured to resemble turf. Used to simulate flow over vegetated beds.
For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.
Venturi Flume
A pair of Venturi sides to fit into the channel allowing demonstrations of flow measurement techniques used in rivers and waterways.
For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.
Parshall Flume
A profiled base and sides to demonstrate how the flow in an open channel can be measured using a Parshall Flume.
For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.
Trapezoidal Flume
A clear acrylic 60° trapezoidal flume to enable the measurement of flows with the emphasis on low flow situations.
For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.
Culvert
A pair of clear culvert models, one of circular and one of rectangular section. Enabling the observation and calculation of both open and orifice flow in a culvert.
For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.
Lift and Drag
The FC300ld Lift and Drag module works with TecQuipment’s FC300 Flow Channel range. It provides a means to measure and display the lift or drag on a set of models consisting of two different sized cylinders and a hydrofoil.
Wave Generator and Beach
A wave generator and beach model for use with the FC300 flow channels. Allows variable control of wave frequency, as well as manual adjustment of amplitude. Demonstrates the dissipation of waves impinging on a beach.
Sediment Loop
An ancillary that allows sediment to be re-circulated continually into an FC300 series flow channel from a sediment vessel located in the outlet tank.
Instrument Carrier
The instrument carrier can precisely place the tip of the supplied instruments at any position in the x, y, and z planes of TecQuipment’s FC300 flow channel range.
Digital Instrument Carrier
The digital instrument carrier can precisely place the tip of the supplied instruments at any position in the x, y, and z planes of TecQuipment’s FC300 flow channel range. This data can be monitored and recorded in TecQuipment's VDAS software.
Multi-tube Manometer
A 20-tube manometer for measuring pressure when using the FC300 series flow channels. It mounts onto the side of the FC300 on the instrument rails.
