Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume (Length 2.5 m) | FluidoSurge-X 236

The Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume (Length 2.5 m) | FluidoSurge-X 236 by SCIENTICO is an open channel laboratory flume for hydraulic engineering education. 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 teaching, demonstration, and experimental analysis in fluid mechanics and hydraulics laboratories.

The Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume FluidoSurge-X 236 is a laboratory-scale open channel flume designed for teaching and experimental studies in hydraulic engineering. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the system enables demonstration of fundamental and advanced open-channel flow phenomena. The flume supports a wide range of experiments using interchangeable hydraulic models. It operates on a closed water circuit for controlled and repeatable testing.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 236 features a 2.5 m long experimental section with a rectangular cross section and tempered glass side walls for clear observation. The flow enters through a flow-optimized inlet element to minimize turbulence. The flume inclination can be finely adjusted to simulate slopes and achieve uniform flow conditions. A closed water circuit with tank, pump, and manual flow control supports stable operation across varied experimental setups.

Construction & Design Details

The experimental section is constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, with tempered glass side walls enabling detailed observation of flow behavior. The inlet element conditions the flow to reduce turbulence. The flume angle is smoothly adjustable to simulate varying bed slopes. Models are mounted using threaded points along the flume bed, allowing safe and rapid configuration changes.
