Drainage And Seepage Tank Vocational Training Equipment Didactic Hydraulic Bench

AFF112 Drainage And Seepage Tank Vocational Training Equipment Didactic Hydraulic Bench
1. Description
The bed of the tank is made from painted mild steel. The sides of the tank are supported and sealed by a well proven method which allows free access to the interior and results in minimum sight obstruction. One side is of toughened glass to give good scratchfree visibility over a long period of use while the other is made of aluminium which permits the insertion of pressure tapping points as required. The ends of the tank are made of steel plate.
