The GUNT Seepage Flow Visualisation Unit enables the graphical observation of seepage and groundwater flows using contrast medium and flow nets. With a transparent, sand-filled tank and interchangeable models, this unit helps visualize streamlines and pressure distributions around typical hydraulic structures like dams, sheet piles, and retaining walls.
Product Features
- Visualisation of seepage and groundwater flow using contrast medium and flow nets
- Transparent tank filled with sand for realistic flow simulation
- Tempered glass viewing window for clear, uninterrupted observation
- Models for dams, sheet piles, foundations, and retaining walls included
- Closed water circuit with integrated storage tank and pump
- Experimental section separated from feed and discharge chambers by fine mesh screens
- Water supply adjustable via valve for controlled experiment conditions
- Foundation and retaining wall models equipped with tubes to display pressure curves
- Measurement ports in the sand bed to monitor groundwater levels
- 14 tube manometers display pressure and groundwater levels in real-time
