Basic Hydrology Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 274

Key Features

Key Features

• Investigation of hydrological processes in soil media

• Closed water circuit for controlled experiments

• Inclinable stainless steel tank for slope simulation

• Precipitation simulator with adjustable nozzle density

• Multiple groundwater measuring points for spatial analysis

• Wells for studying groundwater extraction effects

• Independent selection of water supply and drainage paths

Applications

• Civil engineering hydrology laboratories

• Study of seepage and groundwater flow

• Rainfall runoff and storage capacity analysis

• Investigation of groundwater lowering due to wells

• Teaching water resources and soil-water interaction

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.

Experiments

• Effect of rainfall duration and intensity on discharge

• Determination of soil storage capacity

• Investigation of steady seepage flow

• Study of groundwater level variation due to wells

• Analysis of precipitation-discharge relationships

Data Acquisition Software (Optional)

Optional software  developed in the NITM LabVIEW™ environment supports data acquisition, processing, and reporting on Windows systems. The software enables calculation and visualization of groundwater levels, flow rates, and discharge characteristics using tables and graphs. Comprehensive CSV reports containing measured and calculated data can be generated for documentation and analysis.

Recommended Ancillary (Optional)

• Washed sand graded 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, nominal 1 mm

Standard Scope of Delivery

• 1 experimental module

• 1 standard set of accessories

• 1 instruction manual
