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

Key Features

Key Features

• 2.5 m long experimental section for comprehensive open-channel studies

• Tempered glass side walls for excellent visibility

• Smoothly adjustable flume inclination for slope simulation

• Closed water circuit with tank, pump, rotameter, and manual flow adjustment

• Low-turbulence inlet for uniform flow conditions

• Corrosion-resistant construction for long-term laboratory use

• Quick and secure mounting of hydraulic models

Applications

• Hydraulic engineering teaching laboratories

• Study of uniform and non-uniform open-channel flow

• Investigation of hydraulic jumps and energy dissipation

• Flow over weirs, gates, and control structures

• Velocity profile measurement and momentum studies

• Sediment transport and wave studies using optional accessories

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.

Experiments

• Uniform and non-uniform discharge

• Hydraulic jump and energy dissipation

• Flow over sharp-crested, broad-crested, and ogee-crested weirs

• Discharge under gates and flow-measuring flumes

• Local losses due to obstacles and piers

• Transient flow including waves and vibrations

• Sediment transport and force-momentum studies

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 measurement and calculation of experimental parameters, visualization through tables and graphs, and generation of comprehensive CSV reports containing measured and calculated data with plots.

Standard Scope of Delivery
