Meter Flume Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Meter Flume (Product Code: SLE/EFM/23) is a 300 mm wide open-channel flume, available in lengths from 5 to 15 m, for student study and advanced research across a wide range of fluid flow topics. It has its own built-in recirculating water supply with a digital flow meter, and pressure tappings along the working section for detailed measurement. The flume forms the backbone of a university or institute hydraulics laboratory, and a large range of ancillaries is available to extend what it can teach. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a producer of engineering lab equipment in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

A flume of this kind supports a full open-channel syllabus: uniform flow and Manning’s equation, specific energy and critical depth, hydraulic jumps, flow over weirs and under gates, and flow around structures such as culverts and bridge piers. Students set the discharge on the digital flow meter, install the structure being studied, and read water levels and the tapping pressures spaced every 0.25 metre along the working section to build surface and pressure profiles. Because the water recirculates, there is no need for a separate sump or mains supply during a session.

For research groups, the longer versions give more distance for flow to develop before it reaches a test model, and the 32-way pressure display option speeds up data collection. Keep the water clean to protect the flow meter, check that tapping lines are free of air before each run, and drain and dry the channel when it will stand unused. Choose the length that suits your room and experiments, and check ancillary fit with us when ordering.

Manufacturer

Frequently Asked Questions

What lengths are available?
The flume is 300 mm wide and can be supplied from 5 to 15 m long. Tell us the space you have and we will suggest a length.

Does it need a separate pump or water supply?
No. It has a built-in recirculating water supply connected to a digital flow meter.

How are pressures along the channel measured?
Tappings at 0.25 metre intervals along the working section connect either to a multi-tube manometer or to a 32-way pressure display. Confirm which option you want in your enquiry.

Are the channel models included?
Ancillaries such as gates, culverts and piers are available separately, so the flume can be expanded over time.

What electrical supply and floor space are needed?
These depend on the chosen length and are not given in our current listing; contact us for installation details.

Can a calibration certificate be provided for the flow meter?
Please discuss certificate requirements with us when you request a quotation.

What warranty and installation support apply?
Terms are confirmed with the quotation; ask us for current details.

Do you supply flumes for overseas universities?
Yes, we quote for institutions across India and international markets; include the destination and required length.
