Sluice Gate with Tappings
Product Code : LSK-FM-10439
Sluice Gate with Tappings (SKU LSK-FM-10439) is a flume model of a sluice gate with ten pressure tappings across its face. With it, students can investigate how pressure changes across the gate face and how that pressure varies with flow rate and water depth. It suits civil and hydraulic engineering labs at degree and diploma level. Science Lab Supplies manufactures this gate alongside its other channel models in Saha, Ambala, India (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area), and prices go out from the factory to colleges, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The ten-tapping sluice gate is summarised row by row in the table. In short, the model is a sluice gate with 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 the flow, and the flume is not included.

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, after first measuring thrust on a submerged plane with the Center of Pressure apparatus.
- Diploma hydraulics: effect of flow rate and upstream depth on gate pressure, building on the Pascal's law and manometer work of the Hydrostatics And Properties of Fluids bench.
- 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 is not included, and the pressure-reading instrument your flume uses can be discussed and added to the quotation where needed.
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. A short note on the contact page naming your flume is enough to start a quote; the enquiry cart suits longer lists, and the lab tender page explains bid submissions.
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?
Gate models like this one are produced on the Science Lab Supplies factory floor in Saha, Ambala, India. Buying here means dealing with the manufacturer, which issues the quotation under its own name.
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.
