The GUNT Set of Piers HM 161.46 is designed for laboratory experiments to study the impact of obstacles on flow in open channels. It demonstrates how piers influence flow cross-section, backwater formation, and discharge behavior under different conditions.
Product Features
- Obstacles in flumes reduce the flow cross-section, potentially causing backwaters upstream
- Set contains several piers with different profiles typical for bridge piers
- Single pier used to study discharge behavior with minimal reduction of cross-section
- Up to three piers mounted simultaneously cause considerable cross-section reduction
- Angle of attack can be studied by rotating the mounted pier
- Piers are fixed in the experimental flume using a clamping device
- Angle scale indicates the angle between pier nose and flow for precise measurements
Benefits
- Enables detailed study of flow around obstacles and backwater effects
- Demonstrates the effect of pier profiles and angles on hydraulic behavior
- Adjustable angles allow controlled experiments for educational purposes
- Durable construction ensures reliable use in laboratory environments
Why Choose GUNT Set of Piers, Seven Profiles?
The GUNT Set of Piers HM 161.46 provides a practical and flexible solution to study the impact of bridge piers and obstacles on flow cross-section and backwater formation in hydraulic experiments.
