Sedimentation Studies Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Sedimentation Studies Apparatus

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14170

Overview

The Sedimentation Studies Apparatus is designed to investigate and compare the sedimentation characteristics of different suspensions under controlled laboratory conditions. The unit enables detailed observation of the settling process and analysis of the factors influencing sedimentation, such as particle size, concentration, and flocculant use.

The apparatus consists of five transparent glass sedimentation columns, each equipped with a graduated scale for accurate measurement of sedimentation levels. The columns are illuminated from behind using fluorescent lamps to enhance visibility of the settling process. Suspensions are prepared in measuring cups, poured into removable columns, and mounted vertically for testing.

This equipment is essential for environmental, civil, and chemical engineering laboratories studying solid-liquid separation processes and water treatment applications.


Key Features

  • Five sedimentation columns provided for comparative studies.
  • Transparent glass columns for clear visibility of sedimentation process.
  • Illuminated background (fluorescent lighting) for enhanced observation.
  • Graduated scales on each column for accurate measurement of settling rates.
  • Removable columns for easy filling, cleaning, and sample replacement.
  • Compact and durable frame, suitable for laboratory use.
  • Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual included.
