DRAINAGE AND SEEPAGE TANK S1

SPECIFICATION

A self-contained facility for study of flow through permeable media. The tank has a toughened glass front and aluminium back to permit the insertion of pressure tappings as required. Six tapping points are provided. The design of the side suports allows free access to the interior with minimum sight obstruction. Supply includes sump tank, pump, starter and control valve. Also a dye injection system and a selection of models.

Comprehensive instruction manual with data sheets and student experiments.

Working section 1500mm x 100mm x 600mm

Demonstration Capabilities

• Flow line visualization
• Flow net construction
• Determining seepage rates
• Verification of Darcy's Law
• Comparison of experimental results with analytical solutions 

Typical student experiments include:

• Seepage underneath a sheet pile wall
• Seepage through an earth dam
• Control of seepage through permeable soils by sub-soil drainage
• Distribution of uplift pressure on hydraulic structures
• Reducing uplift pressure and lateral thrust by drainage
• Formation and behaviour of 'Quicksand'
• Stability of an earth dam
• Draining an excavation site using wells

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY:

• S1-A 220/240V/1PH/50HZ
• S1-B 120V/1PH/60HZ
• S1-G 220V/1PH/60Hz
