Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume (Length 5 m) | FluidoSurge-X 240

The Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume (Length 5 m) | FluidoSurge-X 240 by SCIENTICO is a large-scale 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 advanced fluid mechanics research.

The Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume FluidoSurge-X 240 is a large-scale laboratory flume designed for teaching and experimental studies in hydraulic engineering and open-channel flow. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the system enables detailed investigation of flow phenomena under controlled conditions. Its extended 5 m experimental section supports advanced and comparative studies. The flume operates on a closed water circuit for stable and repeatable experimentation.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 240 features a 5 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 test section. The flume inclination can be smoothly adjusted to simulate channel slopes and achieve uniform flow at constant discharge depth. A wide range of hydraulic models can be installed to support comprehensive laboratory programs.
