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