Liquid Sedimentation Apparatus
Product Code : LSK-FM-10467
Liquid Sedimentation Apparatus (SKU LSK-FM-10467) is a bench-mounted set of five long, transparent settling columns for studying how particles settle out of a liquid. Environmental, civil and chemical engineering students use it for batch settling and settling-velocity practicals. It is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at its Saha, Ambala plant in Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India, which supplies engineering colleges, tender contractors and distributors directly.
Specifications
Five removable, transparent sedimentation columns are mounted 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, so several suspensions can be timed and compared in one run.

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.
- Finding particle density with the specific gravity bottle and comparing it with Stokes' law predictions.
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. The test solids and liquids are chosen and provided by the laboratory.
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. Reach the sales desk from the contact page, build a list in the enquiry cart, or check 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?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer; the frame, panel and columns are assembled in its own Ambala works in Saha, India, and the quotation is prepared there.
