Rainfall Hydrographs Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 302
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 Rainfall Hydrographs Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 302 is a laboratory system designed to study rainfall–runoff relationships and flood hydrograph formation. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the apparatus enables controlled simulation of rainfall over a catchment surface and measurement of runoff response with time. It is intended for teaching and experimental work in hydrology and civil engineering laboratories.
Product Overview
FluidoSurge-X 302 consists of a gravel-filled catchment tank supported on a rigid mild steel frame. Rainfall is simulated using overhead square-pattern spray nozzles supplied through a controlled water circuit. Runoff from the catchment is collected at the outlet and directed to a time-based collecting and measuring unit. The traversing collection vessel provides a direct visual representation of runoff variation with time, allowing immediate interpretation of hydrographs generated from different rainfall and catchment conditions.

Construction & Design Details
The apparatus features a gravel-filled tank constructed from stove-enameled mild steel and mounted on a robust steel frame. Water is supplied to overhead spray nozzles through a flow meter, solenoid valve, and control valve to regulate rainfall intensity. Runoff exits the tank through an outlet and enters a traversing collecting vessel driven by a motorized mechanism. Each compartment collects runoff for a predefined time interval, producing a direct histogram representation of the hydrograph.
