Notch Apparatus

Notch Apparatus Recirculating design with supply tank & measuring tank. • Non corrosive tanks & piping. Description: Notch Apparatus is designed for study of flow measurement in open channels using notches & calibration of notches. The set-up consists of a Open Flow Channel, rectangular in cross section. Water enters from one end of the channel & at the other end a notch is fitted. The water flows over the noth section & drains into measuring tank. A hook gauge is provided to measure the level of water over the notch. Water is supplied from the sump tank by centrifugal pump & measuring tank is provided to measure the water flow rate. The entire setup is mounted on a strong steel frame. By comparing the theoretical & measured flow rate, the discharge coefficient for notch can be determined.   Experimental Capabilities: Determination of coefficient of discharge for different notches. Compare relationships between head and flow for various types of notches Specifications: Pump: Self priming, Monobloc Centrifugal Pump, Max. Flow 30 LPM, Max. Head 20 m, 230 V AC Flow Channel: Made in FRP / M. S. channel lined with FRP, Size in mm 700 (L) x 250 (W) x 250 (H) Sump Tank: 100 Liters, made in PVC Measuring Tank: 32 Liters, Made in PVC, with level indicator Set of Notches: Rectangular Notch, Triangular Notch Hook / Pointer gauge Piping: PVC Piping with valves Digital Stop Watch Frame: Made of M.S.
