Key Features
10 m long experimental section for large-scale open-channel studies
Tempered glass side walls for excellent visibility of flow phenomena
Smoothly adjustable flume inclination for slope and depth control
Closed water circuit with tanks, pump, rotameter, and manual flow adjustment
Low-turbulence inlet for uniform and stable flow conditions
Corrosion-resistant construction for long-term laboratory use
Secure and rapid installation of hydraulic models
Applications
Hydraulic engineering teaching and research laboratories
Study of uniform and non-uniform open-channel flow
Investigation of hydraulic jump and energy dissipation
Flow over weirs, gates, and control structures
Flow measurement using flumes and control devices
Sediment transport and transient flow studies using accessories
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.
Experiments
Uniform and non-uniform discharge
Flow transition and hydraulic jump
Energy dissipation in stilling basins
Flow over sharp-crested, broad-crested, and ogee-crested weirs
Discharge under gates
Local losses due to obstacles and piers
Transient flow including waves and vibrations
Data Acquisition Software (Optional)
Optional DAQ software developed in the NITM LabVIEW™ environment supports data acquisition, processing, and reporting on Windows systems. The software enables accurate measurement and calculation of experimental parameters, visualization using tables and graphs, and generation of comprehensive CSV reports containing measured and calculated data.
Standard Scope of Delivery
