Inspire students to understand water flow and its impact.
 
A tabletop hydraulic flume provides an excellent, hands-on introduction to open channel hydrology and fluvial geomorphology. For use in P-12 and undergraduate STEM education.
 
Note: This item is for the Tabletop Hydraulic Flume AND the Inserts and Sediment Kit. Everything you need to get started with classroom demonstrations and experiments.
 
A hydraulic flume allows for simulation of river flow, and when paired with an Inserts and Sediment Kit, allows for simulation and analysis of water flow interacting with the following elements:
Weirs
Culverts
Sluives
Sediment and boulders
 
Teaching resources for Year 5-12 STEM subjects are included.
 
Further Details - Hydraulic Flume:
Made of robust 10mm acrylic
Water flow provided via 24VDC variable flow pump
Removeable flume for easy sump and pump access
Recessed guides for easy weir, culvert and sluice insert use
Open Channel working area dimensions: 500mm L x 80mm W x 140mm H
Product dimensions:  700mm L x 200mm W x 300mm H
