Construction & Design Details
The apparatus is mounted on a robust anodized aluminum frame with painted steel panels and stainless steel main components. The front panel includes a schematic diagram representing the hydraulic layout. The sand-filled tank provides a realistic simulation of groundwater conditions. Orthogonally arranged measuring tappings allow precise gradient measurement. Manometer tubes are fitted with ball valves for purging and connected to a manual air pump for easy operation.
