|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tilting Flume 2.5 meter Apparatus | The tilting flume is designed to conduct various experiments at various bed slopes from in upstream and down stream. The flume has a perspex window to visualize the flow over models fixed in flume. The flume is provided with gates on upstream & downstream side to control the flow. Students can thus conduct the experiments and also visualize the flow. Various experiments like open channel flow study, specific energy curve, hydraulic jump, calibration of weirs, notches and venturi flume can be conducted. |  |
| 2 | Bernoulli Theorem Apparatus | Bernoulli’s Theorem Apparatus is a self contained, compact set up which helps in verifying Bernoulli’s Theorem for liquids. It consists of a supply and delivery tanks . |  |
| 3 | Frictional / Transition Losses Apparatus | The Friction Loss in a Pipe apparatus allows students to study the change in the laws of resistance for laminar to turbulent flow and find the critical Reynolds number. The apparatus shows the flow transition point from laminar to turbulent, and is ideal for demonstrations as well as student experiments. |  |
| 4 | Discharge Measurement Apparatus | Discharge Measurement Apparatus used for measuring stream flow and calculating discharge to determine the amount of water flowing through streams, rivers, canals, and channels is critical for predicting water availability and flood events, allocating water, and more. |  |
| 5 | Flow Through Orifice Apparatus | Orifice and mouthpiece are used to measure the rate of flow of liquid. The apparatus is designed to measure the co-efficient of discharge of orifice & mouthpiece |  |
| 6 | Impact of Jet Apparatus | Impact of jet apparatus is used in the laboratory to demonstrate the way in which fluid force is being used to generate a force that can turn a turbine; that is converting the kinetic energy in a flowing fluid from a nozzle to a rotary motion of the turbine with the help of vanes fitted o shaft of the turbine. |  |
| 7 | Reynolds Number Apparatus | Reynold’s Apparatus is designed for determining the Reynold’s number. The apparatus consists of a glass tube with one end having bell mouth entrance; connected to a constant headwater tank, at the other end a valve is provided to vary the flow rate. |  |
| 8 | Rainfall Simulator Apparatus | Rainfall simulation is the technique of applying water to the test plot in a manner to some aspects of natural rainfall. The device used for simulating the rainfall is called rainfall simulator. |  |
| 9 | Water Hammer Apparatus | The apparatus is made up of a coil of copper pipe 60 m long. The inlet connects to your water supply and the discharge end has a solenoid valve. An electronic pressure transducer near to the valve measures the pressure fluctuations in the pipe when the solenoid valve shuts. |  |
| 10 | Infltrometer Apparatus | The infiltrometer is a simple instrument consisting of two rings. The outer ring and inner ring are used to penetrate the soil concentrically and are then filled with water. Water level is maintained by special Mariotte Tubes (3,000 and 10,000mL capacity), which are included. They can also be purchased separately as additional or replacement items. |  |
| 11 | Standard Evaporation Pan Apparatus | The class-A evaporation pan is used to determine the evaporation rate of open water. The pan has a 1206 mm diameter and an inside height of 254 mm, an evaporation area of 1.15 m and is made of high grade stainless steel. |  |
| 12 | Stokes Law Apparatus | This apparatus verifies Stoke’s law and helps us to understand the motion of object inside the fluid. Here, falling sphere method is used to determine the viscosity of liquid. This method describes a general procedure for the determination of not only the viscosity but the density of the liquid as well. |  |
| 13 | Robotic Boat | The Robotic Boat is a water robot platform that independently implements multi-task systems for large waters such as offshore, harbor, lakes and rivers. It can be equipped with front-view sonar, single-beam/multi-beam sonar, side-scan sonar, shallow stratum. |  |
| 14 | Portable Water Level Indicator Apparatus | The Water Level Meter is standard equipment for the exact measurement of water level in groundwater observation wells. The mobile devices are characterized by a simple, fast and reliable measurement acquisition. The different versions allow you to select the right measuring device according to your individual requirement for cable length or ease of use. |  |
| 15 | Hand GPS Apparatus | Handheld GPS A GPS navigation device or GPS receiver, and when used for vehicle navigation commonly referred to simply as a GPS, is a device that is capable of receiving information from GPS satellites and then to accurately calculate its geographical location. |  |
| 16 | Pitot Tube 30 cm & 50 cm Length Velocity Measuring Apparatus | A Pitot tube, also known as pitot probe, is a flow measurement device used to measure fluid flow velocity. |  |
| 17 | Digital Pointer Gauge Apparatus | Digital pointer gauge use for the measurement of depth of water flow in the channel. |  |
| 18 | Metacentric Height Apparatus | The equipment consists of a plastic rectangular floating pontoon, whose centre of gravity can be varied by an adjustable weight, which slides and can be clamped in any position on a vertical mast |  |
| 19 | Pressure Plate Apparatus | The pressure plate apparatus is used to determine soil water retention and suctions greater than 0.4 bar. The apparatus consists of strongly built metal chambers containing one or more ceramic plates onto which uniform soil samples are placed. |  |
| 20 | Inclined Drainage and Seepage Tank | The tank consists of a big sand tank separated through a sheet pipe and have a thin permeable sheet at the end. The advantage of using the tank is that it has adjustable height and width of the sand tank and heads. |  |
| 21 | Resistivity Meter | A resistivity meter is an electronic device used to measure the flow of electric current through the ground from probes inserted at regular intervals. |  |
| 22 | Sand- Box Modal for Regional Ground Water Flow | This apparatus is for studying the hydrological principles of ground water flow and application of the flow to certain engineering constructions. |  |
