Liquid Sedimentation Apparatus
Product Code : LSK-FM-10467
Liquid Sedimentation Apparatus (SKU LSK-FM-10467) is a bench-mounting set of five long, transparent settling columns for studying how particles settle out of a liquid. It suits batch settling and settling-velocity practicals in environmental, civil and chemical engineering. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the apparatus in Saha, Ambala, India (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area) and deals directly with engineering colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
All construction details of the five-column settling apparatus are tabulated below. In short, five removable, transparent columns stand side by side on a rigid frame in front of a translucent, back-lit rear panel; the lighting makes the settling interface easy to follow, and a graduated scale on the panel gives settlement depth directly.

Applications and Experiments for the Liquid Sedimentation Apparatus
The columns are used to record the height of the settling interface against time and to compare how particle size, density and concentration change settling rates. These fluid mechanics lab experiments belong to the mechanical-operations lab in chemical engineering and to water and wastewater treatment practicals in civil and environmental engineering.
- Batch sedimentation test: interface height against time for a suspension.
- Effect of solids concentration on settling velocity, run side by side in five columns.
- Settling-column analysis for the design of clarifiers and settling tanks, with particle sizes described against a Grain Size Chart.
- Finding particle density with the specific gravity bottle and comparing it with Stokes' law predictions; a spare Specific Gravity Bottle can be added to the quotation.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set comprises the frame with its five transparent columns, the back-lit rear panel with graduated scale, a stopwatch for settling times, a specific gravity bottle, measuring beakers and five rubber bungs. The bungs seal the columns while the liquid and particles are shaken before each test, so every column starts from an even suspension.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One apparatus for a demonstration or several for a class can be quoted, and the quotation you receive states the packing, delivery time and price for that order. Colleges sourcing other engineering lab equipment in India can add related fluid mechanics units to the same document.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. Tell us the number of settling sets you need through the contact page or the enquiry cart; procurement under a public tender is explained on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the apparatus have five columns?
Five columns let students run five suspensions at once, for example different concentrations or particle sizes, and compare their settling curves against the same graduated scale in a single session.
What accessories come with it?
A stopwatch, a specific gravity bottle, measuring beakers and five rubber bungs are supplied. The bungs close the column ends so each suspension can be shaken evenly before timing starts.
How are the columns filled?
The columns are removable, so each one can be taken off the frame, filled with liquid and particles, sealed with a bung, shaken and then refitted in front of the back-lit panel.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The settling columns, frame and back-lit panel of this apparatus are made by Science Lab Supplies in Saha, Ambala, India, and the quotation is prepared at the same factory rather than by a trading firm.
