A clear acrylic spillway that demonstrates the effect of a siphon spillway and the increased flow permitted when compared with an ordinary spillway of a similar height.

For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.

A clear acrylic, self-regulating siphon that demonstrates the automatic adjustment of its discharge over a wide range while maintaining a mostly constant water level upstream. The siphon passes a mixture of air and water.

For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.

The FC300ld Lift and Drag module works with TecQuipment’s FC300 Flow Channel range. It provides a means to measure and display the lift or drag on a set of models consisting of two different sized cylinders and a hydrofoil.

The vortex shedding apparatus demonstrates that the drag force of water induces a suspended pendulum to shed vortices from alternate sides (a Karman vortex street).

For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.

A pair of clear culvert models, one of circular and one of rectangular section. Enabling the observation and calculation of both open and orifice flow in a culvert.

For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.

A clear acrylic 60° trapezoidal flume to enable the measurement of flows with the emphasis on low flow situations.

For use with an FC300 Flow Channel, not included.

TecQuipment’s broad crested weirs consists of two model weirs sufficiently wide to prevent the jet from springing clear at the upstream corner. The models supplied are one block with rounded upstream and downstream corners and a similar block with sharp edges. For use with FC300 Flow Channel, not included.

The notch weir set works over a range of flows to allow experiments that show the relationship between flow and head and how the weirs can be used to measure flow. The apparatus includes a holder and three standard notches, one rectangular and two “V” notch. It also includes an advanced set of two notches, Cipoletti (trapezoidal) and a Sutro notch for more experiments. For use with FC300 Flow Channel, not included.

A wave generator and beach model for use with the FC300 flow channels. Allows variable control of wave frequency, as well as manual adjustment of amplitude. Demonstrates the dissipation of waves impinging on a beach.
