Basic Hydrology Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 274
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Basic Hydrology Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 274 is a laboratory system designed for studying hydrological processes related to groundwater flow, seepage, and precipitation runoff. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the apparatus enables controlled investigation of transient and steady hydrological phenomena. It is intended for civil engineering and water resources laboratories. The system operates on a closed water circuit for repeatable experimentation.
Product Overview
FluidoSurge-X 274 features an inclinable, sand-filled stainless steel experiment tank integrated with a closed water circuit. A precipitation device with multiple adjustable nozzles simulates rainfall of varying intensity and distribution. Groundwater inflow and drainage can be controlled through side chambers, while wells installed in the tank allow study of groundwater level variation. Groundwater levels are monitored using multiple tube manometers, enabling detailed spatial analysis of subsurface flow

Construction & Design Details
The apparatus is built around a corrosion-resistant stainless steel experiment tank filled with sand to simulate soil conditions. The tank inclination can be adjusted to study slope effects. A precipitation device mounted above the tank simulates rainfall with controlled intensity. Groundwater inflow and drainage are managed through side chambers, while groundwater levels are measured at multiple points using tube manometers. A transparent splash guard and internal screens separate flow zones and improve observation.
