Description

The BCI 050 bench allows the study of flows in open channel. Water is pumped into a water reserve and sent through the open channel.

Users can view the flows in the channel and place obstacles in order to see the impact on the flow.

The slope of the channel is adjustable in order to create different types of flow (or torrential or fluvial)

The robust design of this equipment makes it perfectly suited for school use.

Its anodized aluminum structure on wheels makes it very robust as well as a great flexibility of integration into your premises. The manufacture of this equipment meets the European machine directive
