HM 169 Drainage and Seepage Tank Show data sheet (pdf file)
Technical Description
The HM 169 experimental set-up is designed for the investigation of flows in subsoil. In a sediment filled tank with a viewing window made of special glass, flow lines can be made visible using a contrast producing medium (ink). The height adjustable overflow pipes provide the necessary head. Measuring connections are fitted to the base of the tank, these can be connected to multiple tube manometers. Various fittings enable comprehensive investigations on flows under pile planking, the pressure distribution on containing walls, and ground water flows around impermeable bodies to be performed. The closed water circuit with supply tank and pump enables the HM 169 to be operated independent of a mains water connection.
