Culvert
Product Code : LSK-FM-10445
Culvert (SKU LSK-FM-10445) is a pair of clear model culverts, one circular and one rectangular in section, for observing and calculating both open and orifice flow through a culvert. Students see the change from free-surface flow to a submerged inlet as the upstream level rises. The models serve highway, drainage and hydraulic engineering practicals in civil engineering courses. Science Lab Supplies makes them in-house at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells directly to colleges, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The item is a pair of clear culvert models: one with a circular section and one with a rectangular section. Being clear, both let students watch the water surface inside the barrel, so the difference between open (free-surface) flow and orifice flow at the inlet can be seen as well as calculated.

Applications and Experiments for the Culvert Models
With a culvert fitted in the channel, students raise the flow step by step and record upstream depth against discharge. At low heads the culvert runs as an open channel; at higher heads the inlet submerges and behaves like an orifice. Repeating with the second section compares circular and rectangular culverts.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: culvert hydraulics and inlet control.
- Head against discharge for open and orifice flow conditions.
- Diploma highway and drainage courses: sizing cross-drainage works.
Standard Scope of Supply
The supply is the pair of clear culvert models, one of circular and one of rectangular section. The flow channel in which they are tested and its water supply are not included; any optional accessories are named on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a price on one pair of culverts or on sets for several student groups, and the quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other engineering lab equipment in India from our range can be quoted at the same time.
Under its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. The quickest routes are the enquiry cart for item lists and the contact page for questions; tender details sit on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between open and orifice flow in a culvert?
In open flow the water has a free surface inside the culvert. When the upstream level submerges the inlet, the entrance acts as an orifice and discharge depends on the head above it.
Why are there two culvert shapes?
The pair has one circular and one rectangular section, so students can compare how each shape behaves under the same flow conditions.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer; both culvert models are made at its plant in Saha, Ambala, India, and the quotation comes from that plant.
Can the culverts be quoted for a tender?
Yes. Share the tender quantity and specification, and an item-wise quotation is prepared against the description above.
