Hydraulic Flume Laboratory Erosion-Test Equipment
This report documents the results of PRESS Project No. DB-13, phase II, 'Identification of Potentially Erosive Soils.' A self-contained, portable, recirculating, tilting, hydraulic demonstration flume was acquired and modified for use as soil test equipment. This erosion flume was placed in operation, and preliminary hydraulic calibration was completed. Preston tubes and a differential pressure transducer were used to determine channel bed boundary shear stresses or tractive forces. Three different size Preston tubes were developed for measuring the wide range of shear stresses generally encountered on typical Bureau or Reclamation project features. Hydraulic calibration data were finalized by digital computer data reduction from analog strip chart data input.
