Notch Tank Apparatus

The used to demonstrate different flow processes at different control structures in the open channel. In the closed channel, pressure components in a pipe are determined. The trainer includes a transparent experimental flume with upper limit, a height-adjustable sill and a closed water circuit. The water level in the experimental section is set with an adjustable plate weir at the water outlet. With a simple alteration, the experimental flume can be used as an open or closed channel.

The water level must be low when investigating the open-channel flow. To conduct the experiment, a weir is attached to the bottom of the channel or the height-adjustable sill is used. Furthermore, the discharge under a gate can also be demonstrated. Various weirs, which can be exchanged quickly and safely, are available as control structures.
