The GUNT HM 162.71 Closed Sediment Circuit enables the study of bed-load sediment transport in rivers, canals, and coastal areas within the experimental flume HM 162. This accessory allows solids to be moved along the flume bottom while keeping the water and sediment circuits separate to prevent contamination of the water flow sensors or pump.
Product Features
- Simulates bed-load transport in experimental flume HM 162
- Includes sediment trap, sediment feed, and pipe system with pump
- Delivers sediment-water mixture from trap back to sediment feed between experiments
- Independent sediment and water circuits prevent sediment from entering pumps or flow sensors
- Automatic identification by PLC for seamless operation
- Sediment pump controlled via PLC touch screen
- Adjustable sediment feed height above flume bottom
- Screen basket in water tank serves as sediment trap
- Not suitable for suspended load transport
- Can be added to HM 162 at any time
Benefits
- Enables realistic observation of bed-load sediment transport
- Prevents contamination of water circuit instruments
- Flexible operation with adjustable sediment feed height
- Durable design suitable for repeated laboratory experiments
- Supports educational and research applications in sediment transport
