Tilting Flume

The 'J. P. T. I.' Tilting flume consists of a channel of size as in specifications. At the inlet a flow steadying section is provided so that there will be fewer disturbances at the test section. The gates provided at the upstream & downstream of the test section help to regulate the depth of flow. Depth measurements can be achieved with the help of a hook or point gauge mounted on a trolley which gives longitudinal and transverse movement. The slope of the bed can be adjusted to give positive or negative slopes.

RANGE OF EXPERIMENT:-
• Study of open channel flow with slope
• Study of specific energy curve
• Study of hydraulic jump
• Study of Nappe profiles over a sharp crested weir
• Calibration of sharp crested, Broad crested and ogee weir
• Calibration of a Venturiflume
• Study of flow under the sluice gate
SPECIFICATION:-

  either sides of 1800 mm length.
• Sliding gates one at upstream and other at the downstream side.
• Screw jack for change of the slope of the flume.
• A Sump tank of sufficient capacity.
