Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume (Length 10 m) | FluidoSurge-X 248

The Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume (Length 10 m) | FluidoSurge-X 248 by SCIENTICO is a large-scale open channel laboratory flume for hydraulic engineering education and research. It features a tempered glass experimental section, adjustable slope, and closed water circuit. The system supports a wide range of experiments using standard and optional hydraulic models. Suitable for advanced teaching, demonstration, and fluid mechanics research laboratories.

The Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume FluidoSurge-X 248 is a large-scale laboratory flume designed for advanced teaching and experimental studies in hydraulic engineering. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the system enables detailed investigation of open-channel flow phenomena under controlled conditions. Its extended 10 m experimental section supports complex and large-scale experiments. The flume operates on a closed water circuit for stable and repeatable testing.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 248 features a 10 m long experimental section with a rectangular cross section and tempered glass side walls for clear observation of flow behavior. A flow-optimized inlet element ensures low-turbulence entry into the flume. The inclination of the experimental section can be smoothly adjusted to simulate channel slopes and to establish uniform flow at constant discharge depth. A wide range of hydraulic models can be installed to support comprehensive teaching and research programs.

Construction & Design Details

The experimental section is constructed using corrosion-resistant materials, with tempered glass side walls allowing unobstructed observation. The inlet element conditions the flow to minimize turbulence before entering the test section. The flume inclination is smoothly adjustable to simulate varying channel slopes. Multiple threaded mounting points along the flume bed allow safe and quick installation of experimental models.
