Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume (Length 1m) | FluidoSurge-X 392
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 FluidoSurge-X 392 is a 1 m experimental flume with a closed water circuit, designed for teaching the fundamental principles of open-channel flow and hydraulic engineering. The tempered glass side walls provide clear observation of flow behaviour, and the smoothly adjustable inclination allows simulation of slope conditions. A wide range of standard and optional accessories supports a comprehensive experimental programme.
Product Overview
The FluidoSurge-X 392 features a 1 m experimental section with a 50 x 200 mm (W x H) flow cross section and tempered glass side walls. Three evenly spaced threaded holes on the channel bottom allow quick and secure model installation. The flow-optimised inlet element ensures low-turbulence entry into the experimental section. Inclination is adjustable from -0.5% to +3% using a magnetic inclinometer (range -90° to 0° to 90°). The closed water circuit comprises a 100 L sump tank, a pump (0.37 kW, 80 LPM max., 15 m head, 2850 rpm), and a rotameter (0.8 to 70 LPM) with manual flow adjustment. All water-contact surfaces are corrosion-resistant (stainless steel and glass reinforced plastic). Standard accessories include sluice gate, broad-crested weir, sharp-crested overshot weir with aeration, ogee-crested weir with chute and ski jump, vernier level gauge, and Pitot tube with twin tube manometer. Extensive optional accessories cover control structures, flow-measuring flumes, sediment transport, wave generation, and instrumentation. Optional DAQ software FX 392 provides LabVIEW-based data acquisition, graphing, and CSV reporting on Windows.

Construction and Design
The FluidoSurge-X 392 is a floor-standing experimental flume with a 1 m experimental section of 50 x 200 mm (W x H) cross section. Side walls are tempered glass for unobstructed observation. Three evenly spaced threaded holes on the channel bottom provide secure model mounting. All water-contact components are fabricated from corrosion-resistant materials, stainless steel and glass reinforced plastic. The flow-optimised inlet element minimises turbulence at the entry to the experimental section. Inclination is smoothly adjustable from -0.5% to +3% and is read via a magnetic inclinometer with a -90° to +90° range. The closed water circuit includes a 100 L sump tank, a pump rated at 0.37 kW with 80 LPM max. flow rate and 15 m head at 2850 rpm, and a rotameter covering 0.8 to 70 LPM with manual flow adjustment.
