TILTING FLUME ADJUSTABLE CHANNEL
 The 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 and 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.
