The GUNT HM 162.72 Sediment Trap allows experiments on bed-load sediment transport in rivers, canals, and coastal flows within the experimental flume HM 162. It captures sediment from near-bottom flow, preventing solids from entering the pump or flow meter, while allowing sediment-free water to continue to the outlet element.
Product Features
- Designed for bed-load sediment transport experiments
- Includes sediment trap and bucket for sediment feed
- Prevents sediment from entering pump or flow meter of HM 162
- Near-bottom flow containing sediment is collected in the trap
- Sediment accumulates at the bottom and is manually removed via gate valve
- Sediment-free water continues to flow into the outlet element
- Not suitable for suspended load transport
- Mounted between experimental section and outlet element; cannot be added later
Benefits
- Enables controlled study of bed-load sediment transport
- Protects HM 162 pumps and flow meters from sediment damage
- Allows repeated sediment collection and reuse in experiments
- Supports accurate and safe hydraulic research and teaching
