Roughened Bed
Model Number: FC80K
An optional reversible bed section for comparing flow losses in smooth and roughened channels.
Overview
An optional roughened bed to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range and FC50 Flume.
Supplied in two parts totalling 2.25 metres in length. It is reversible with two different surfaces made of evenly spaced raised elements of constant height. One surface has a course roughened face, the other has a finely roughened surface with more closely packed elements.
Features
- Optional roughened bed for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range and FC50 Flume
- Reversible design with two different roughened surfaces
- Evenly spaced raised elements of constant height
- One coarse roughened face and one finely roughened face with more closely packed elements
- Allows students to determine and compare losses in a smooth flow channel with those in a channel with a roughened surface
