Radial Sector Gate
Product Code : LSK-FM-10438
Radial Sector Gate (SKU LSK-FM-10438) is a model radial gate, also called a Tainter gate, that is installed in a laboratory flume to demonstrate the head/flow and discharge characteristics of this common control structure. It is used in open channel hydraulics practicals for civil engineering degree and diploma students. Science Lab Supplies makes the gate at its Saha, Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India) and offers it directly to colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The model is a radial section gate: a curved gate face that turns about a pivot, so water passes beneath its lower edge. It is designed as an accessory for a flow channel (flume), which provides the water flow and measurements, and the flume itself is not included.

Applications and Experiments for the Radial Sector Gate
In the flume, students set a gate opening, vary the flow and record the upstream head, building up the relationship between head, flow and discharge for a radial gate. The experiment introduces the gates used on dam spillways and irrigation canals, and it pairs well with sluice gate tests.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering open channel flow lab: head against discharge.
- Finding a discharge coefficient for the gate at different openings.
- Diploma irrigation engineering: how canal control gates regulate flow.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Radial Sector Gate is supplied as a single unit as described above, ready to fit in a flume. The flume, its water supply and flow measurement are not included; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may request a price for a single gate or a complete set of flume models, and the quotation will state packing, delivery time and price for the quantity chosen. Buyers planning fluid mechanics lab experiments often add the other channel models to the same list.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar. The enquiry cart collects your items, the contact page takes questions, and tender notices are covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a flume included with the gate?
No. The gate is an accessory for use with a flume, which is not included. Tell us the flume you have so the fitting can be confirmed on the quotation.
What is a radial gate used for?
Radial gates control flow in canals and on spillways. In the lab, the model shows how discharge under the gate depends on the upstream head and the opening.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Manufacturer. The gate comes out of the company's own workshop in Saha, Ambala, India, and quotes are prepared by that factory directly.
Can it be quoted with other flume models?
Yes. Gates, weirs, spillways and other channel models can go on one quotation, with packing arranged for the full set.
Related Flume Models
A radial gate is one of several control structures studied in the same flume. These four Fluid Mechanics models cover other gates, weirs, spillways and siphons, giving a full open channel practical course.
- Sluice Gate with Tappings — ten tappings across the gate face for pressure readings.
- Notched Weirs — rectangular, V and Cipoletti notches for flow and head.
- Spillway — spillway with ski jump, apron and toothed block.
- Self-Regulating Siphon — clear acrylic siphon that holds the upstream level.
