Tilting Flume Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TM-11602
Lab Instruments Manufacturers manufactures the Tilting Flume in-house at our own India facility, supplying it to fluid mechanics and hydraulics labs, and as an OEM/private-label item to distributors and exporters across India and internationally.
What This Apparatus Does
This is a hydraulic flume with a 200 x 300mm cross-section and 6000mm length, fitted with transparent windows of 1800mm length on either side for direct observation of flow. Sliding gates at the upstream and downstream ends regulate the depth of flow, and a screw jack adjusts the bed slope to give positive or negative gradients. The system includes a sump tank, a supply tank with wave-damping arrangement, a 3 HP centrifugal monoblock pump, an orifice meter with manometer for discharge measurement (inlet/throat dimensions 50/25mm), and a trolley with point gauge for level measurement.

Typical Lab Use
Engineering colleges use this flume in fluid mechanics and hydraulics coursework to teach open-channel flow behaviour under adjustable slope and depth conditions, discharge measurement via an orifice meter, and flow-depth profiling with a point gauge. It is the hydraulics-focused item in this otherwise thermodynamics-oriented range, alongside fuel and lubricant test apparatus such as our Redwood Viscometer Apparatus.
Manufactured In-House
This flume is fabricated and assembled at our own India production facility. Manufacturing in-house means our team controls build quality at every stage, and can configure the channel length or accompanying courseware for a specific curriculum or export order without waiting on an outside supplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Tilting Flume teach?
Open-channel flow behaviour under adjustable bed slope and flow depth, discharge measurement via an orifice meter, and level profiling with a point gauge.
Can the bed slope be adjusted?
Yes, a screw jack adjusts the flume's bed slope to give either positive or negative gradients.
Can this be supplied as an OEM/private-label order?
Yes, it can be produced and packed under a buyer's own brand name and item codes for distributors and exporters ordering in bulk.
