HM 141 Hydrographs After Precipitation Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment
Correlations between precipitation and seepage; various drainage methods Features - effect of precipitation on soils - drainage of the soil either through drainage pipe or drain chamber with screen - recording of hydrographs - influence of rainwater retention basin on the hydrograph - precipitation time, lag time and measurement time can be adjusted via separate timers Learning objectives/experiments - effect of precipitation of varying duration or intensity on soils with different saturation - record hydrographs after precipitation - compare natural drainage with drainage via drainage pipe - influence of rainwater retention basin on the hydrograph Specification [1] investigation of the effect of precipitation on soils [2] stainless steel experimental tank with transparent splash guard [3] precipitation device with two nozzles, adjustable precipitation area and quantity [4] precipitation time can be adjusted via solenoid valve with timer [5] distribution to 17 chambers by timer [6] mobile sled carriage distributes draining water to 17 chambers in the measuring tank [7] water drain either via removable drain chamber with fine-mesh screen or via drainage pipe [8] separate flushing connection for pipelines [9] drip pans as rainwater retention basins [10] rotameter (inlet), indicator of precipitation time, lag time and measurement time
