Prototype tests were conducted to investigate pressures in filling and emptying systems of main lock and water-surface elevations in lock chamber; continuous measurements were made with valve opening and closing periods of 4 and 8 min for conditions of two-culvert operation, single-culvert operation, and steady flow; steady-flow tests yielded data concerning head loss coefficients through lock manifolds and laterals; discharge coefficients for two-culvert operation were also obtained; data were compared with results obtained from hydraulic model study.
