Multi Purpose Teaching Flume
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9952
The Multi Purpose Teaching Flume (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9952) is a compact tilting open channel that works with a hydraulics bench for studying flow in open channels and over hydraulic structures. JaincoLab supplies this multi purpose teaching flume, with its standard set of weirs, venturi flume and level gauges, to civil and mechanical engineering colleges and polytechnics for fluid mechanics and hydraulics practicals.
Specifications
The channel is 76 mm wide and 250 mm high with clear acrylic sides, in 2.5 m or 5.0 m working lengths, tilted by a calibrated screw jack between -1% and +3%, with a stilling inlet tank, overshot weir level control, bed pressure tappings and model fixing points.

Applications of the multi purpose teaching flume
The multi purpose teaching flume lets students measure depth, velocity and discharge over weirs, under gates and through a venturi flume at different bed slopes, covering the core open channel flow practicals of a hydraulics or fluid mechanics course.
- Calibrating sharp crested, broad crested and crump weirs
- Flow measurement with a venturi flume
- Flow under an adjustable undershot weir
- Measuring depth and velocity profiles with level gauges and Pitot-static tubes
- Open channel flow practicals at different bed slopes in civil engineering courses
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers the flume with inlet tank, acrylic working section, screw-jack tilting frame, overshot weir, and the standard set of venturi flume, crump weir, sharp and broad crested weirs, adjustable undershot weir and two vernier level gauges, with an instruction manual.
