The GUNT Sediment Trap HM 161.72 is designed for laboratory experiments to study bed-load sediment transport in rivers, canals, and coastal areas. It prevents sediment from entering pumps or flow meters in the experimental flume HM 161, allowing controlled observation of sediment movement.
Product Features
- Enables experiments on bed-load sediment transport
- Includes sediment trap and bucket for sediment feed
- Near-bottom flow containing sediment is fed into the trap where sediment settles and accumulates
- Sediment-free water continues to flow into the outlet element
- Sediment is manually removed and returned to the feed
- Prevents sediment from entering pumps or flow meters in HM 161
- Not suitable for suspended load transport
- Mounted between experimental section and outlet element during setup; cannot be added later
Benefits
- Provides controlled observation of bed-load sediment transport
- Protects experimental equipment from sediment damage
- Enables repeated, accurate experiments on sediment movement
- Durable design suitable for laboratory and educational use
