Trapezoidal Flume Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Trapezoidal Flume (Product Code: SLE/EFM/14) is a clear acrylic flow-measuring flume with a 60° trapezoidal profile, intended for measuring discharge in an open channel with particular emphasis on low-flow situations. Because the body is transparent, students can watch the water surface change as it passes through the section rather than simply reading a number. It suits hydraulics and irrigation engineering teaching, and is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, whose engineering educational equipment is used in colleges across India.

Specifications

Typical Use

Measuring flumes work by narrowing the channel so the flow passes through critical depth; once that happens, a single upstream depth reading can be related to discharge. A trapezoidal section keeps useful sensitivity when only a little water is flowing, which is why this flume is chosen for low-flow gauging exercises such as small streams, irrigation furrows and drainage outlets. In the lab, students set a series of flow rates, read the upstream water level for each, and build a depth–discharge rating curve that they compare with the flow measured independently.

Seal the flume carefully in its channel so no water bypasses the section, level it before taking readings, and allow the flow to settle after each change. Clean acrylic with water and a soft cloth only, as solvents can craze clear plastics. Beyond routine practicals, the flume also serves as lab equipment for research in India on small-channel flow measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this flume best suited to measure?
Flow rates in open channels, with the emphasis on low-flow situations where many other measuring structures lose sensitivity.

Why is it made of clear acrylic?
Transparency lets students see the water surface profile and the change in depth through the flume while they take readings.

Does it come with a channel or water supply?
It is a flume section only; no channel or pump is listed with it. Share your channel details via our contact page so we can advise on fitting.

What overall dimensions does it have?
Dimensions beyond the 60° trapezoidal profile are not listed in our current product details; contact us for a drawing.

How do I keep the acrylic clear?
Rinse with clean water after use, wipe with a soft cloth and avoid solvents or abrasive pads.

What warranty is offered?
Warranty terms are stated in our quotation; ask us for current terms.
