Features:
Self-contained unit designed for the study of flow through permeable media.
Tank made from non-corrosive materials & has toughened glass at Front for better visualization.
Tesca Drainage and Seepage Tank Demonstrator have been designed for experimental study & visualization of flow through permeable media. The trainer consists of a Tank with Toughened Glass at the front & an Aluminum panel at the back. The toughened glass is scratch resistant & permits clear visualization of the process. The tank has two adjustable overflows at each end for maintaining a constant level inside the tank. A dye injection system allows the dye to be injected through tapping on the back aluminum panel for visualization for flow pattern through the bed. Water is supplied from the sump tank using a centrifugal pump.
Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.

Specifications:
A self-contained facility for the study of flow through permeable media.
The tank has a toughened glass front and aluminum back to permit the insertion of pressure
The design of the side supports allows free access to the interior
Supply includes a sump tank, pump, starter, and control valve. Also a dye injection system and a Comprehensive instruction manual data sheets and student experiments.
