Sluice Gate with Tappings
Sluice Gate with Tappings (Product Code: SLE/EFM/22) is a flume accessory that lets students measure the water pressure acting on the face of a sluice gate. Ten pressure tappings run across the gate face, so the pressure distribution can be read directly and related to the flow rate and the upstream depth. It is intended for use with a flume (not included) in civil engineering and irrigation hydraulics labs, and is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a scientific laboratory equipment manufacturer.
Specifications
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Sluice gate for flume experiments |
| Pressure tappings | Ten, across the face of the gate |
| Investigations | Pressure changes across the gate face; variation of pressure with flow rate and depth |
| Used with | A flume, not included |
Typical Use
The gate is installed across the flume with a set opening beneath it, and each tapping is connected to a manometer or pressure display. At a given discharge, students read the upstream depth and the pressure head at every tapping, then plot pressure against position down the gate face. Near the top of the water the readings follow the hydrostatic line, but closer to the gate lip the pressure drops below hydrostatic as the flow accelerates towards the opening — a result that simple textbook assumptions miss.
By changing the flow rate and gate opening, the class sees how the distribution and the total force on the gate change with depth, and can compare the measured force with a hydrostatic estimate. Flush the tapping lines to clear air bubbles before each run, since trapped air gives false readings, and allow the upstream level to settle after every adjustment.
Manufacturer
The gate is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana manufacturer operating under the trade name ScienceLab. Our company profile explains more about the company and its product lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pressure tappings does the gate have?
Ten, arranged across the face of the gate.
Is a flume included?
No. The gate is for use with a flume, which is not included. Tell us about your flume via the contact page so we can check compatibility.
What instrument reads the tapping pressures?
A manometer bank or a pressure display is needed; none is listed with the gate, so include your requirement in the enquiry.
Can the gate opening be varied?
The adjustment arrangement is not described in our current details; contact us to confirm how the opening is set.
Is a calibration certificate available?
This is a teaching model; raise any certificate needs with us when enquiring.
What details should I give for a quotation?
Quantity, flume make and width if known, delivery location in India or overseas, and any tender reference.
