Sluice Gate with Tappings
Product Code : LSK-FM-10439
Sluice Gate with Tappings (SKU LSK-FM-10439) is a flume model of an undershot sluice gate with ten pressure tappings across its face. Students use it to investigate how pressure changes across the gate face and how that pressure varies with flow rate and water depth. It is intended for civil and hydraulic engineering labs at degree and diploma level. The gate is a Science Lab Supplies product, manufactured at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and quoted directly to colleges, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The model is a sluice gate carrying ten tappings spread across its face, so the pressure distribution on the gate can be read at several points at once. It is an accessory for a flume, which supplies and measures the flow; the flume is not included with the gate.

Applications and Experiments for the Sluice Gate with Tappings
With the gate set in a flume, students read the pressure at each of the ten tappings for a range of flows and upstream depths, then plot the pressure distribution on the gate face. This links hydrostatic theory with real flow under a gate and supports the calculation of gate forces.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering open channel lab: pressure distribution on a sluice gate.
- Comparing measured gate thrust with the hydrostatic prediction.
- Diploma hydraulics: effect of flow rate and upstream depth on gate pressure.
- Flow under a gate and the depth downstream of it.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Sluice Gate with Tappings is supplied as a single unit as described above, with its ten face tappings. The flume and whatever pressure-reading instrument your flume uses are not part of this item; any optional accessories appear on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Prices are available for one gate or for a batch of flume models, and every quotation sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Other engineering lab equipment in India from our fluid mechanics range can go on the same request.
Through its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Reach the team from the contact page, build a list in the enquiry cart, or review tender buying on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pressure tappings does the gate have?
Ten, spread across the gate face. Together they show how pressure is distributed over the gate and how it shifts as flow rate and depth change.
Does the price include a flume?
No. The gate is designed for use with a flume, which is not included. A flume already in your laboratory can be named in your enquiry so compatibility is checked.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the maker. Production takes place at its factory in Saha, Ambala, India, which is also where your quotation is drawn up.
How does this differ from the Radial Sector Gate?
This gate carries ten face tappings for pressure measurement. The Radial Sector Gate is a radial section gate used for head/flow and discharge characteristic experiments.
Related Flume Models
These four Fluid Mechanics models work in the same flume as the sluice gate, so one channel can run a sequence of gate, weir, spillway and culvert practicals across a semester.
- Radial Sector Gate — head/flow and discharge characteristics of a radial gate.
- Notched Weirs — holder with rectangular and V notches.
- Spillway — flow and energy dissipation over spillways.
- Culvert — circular and rectangular models for open and orifice flow.
