DESCRIPTION:
Sluice Gate (FM-1361.2)
Sluice gates are movable control structures. The water flows under the gate. A sluice gate is a vertical wall causing backwater in the flume. Sluice gates are often used to ensure a minimum upstream discharge depth at varying discharge, e.g. for shipping.
Specifications
- Sluice gate for the experimental flume
- Sluice gate with lateral sealing lips
- Manual height adjustment
- Scale to read the height of the gate opening
