Advanced Hydrology Trainer (2m x 1m) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14167

Overview

The Advanced Hydrology System Trainer is a comprehensive experimental apparatus designed to demonstrate and analyze the major physical processes of hydrology and fluvial geomorphology on a laboratory scale. It allows detailed study of rainfall-runoff processes, groundwater movement, river flow formation, sediment transport, and erosion phenomena in a realistic and fully observable environment.

This floor-standing, self-contained system features a stainless steel sand tank, adjustable bed slope, and multiple water input configurations, enabling simulations of both surface and subsurface hydrological processes. The transparent sidewalls, adjustable rainfall nozzles, and flow control instrumentation allow precise control and measurement of experimental variables.

With optional data acquisition (DAQ) and computer-based control, the system enables real-time monitoring and analysis of runoff, sediment load, and flow dynamics — making it ideal for advanced research and teaching in civil, environmental, and water resource engineering.

Key Features

• Stainless steel sand tank, available from 1m × 2m to 6m × 2m, with depths up to 750 mm.
• Dual jacking system (manual or hydraulic) for adjustable channel slope and flow gradient.
• Stilled inlet tank ensures developed and uniform river inflow conditions.
• Adjustable spray nozzles simulate rainfall over catchment surfaces with uniform distribution.
• Unique outlet tank design enables simultaneous water and sediment flow measurement.
• Fine-grade sand allows detailed and stable sediment transport visualization.
• Multiple flow control points using precision flowmeters and valves.
• Flexible inlet and outlet configurations (inlet river, rainfall, wells, or French drains).
• Manometer bank (up to 20 tapping points) for phreatic surface and hydraulic gradient measurement.
• Optional DAQ system with LabVIEW software for real-time monitoring and analysis.
• Supplied with a comprehensive Operation & Maintenance Manual including detailed procedures and sample data sheets.
