Instrument Carrier for Experimental Flume

The Instrument Carrier for Experimental Flume is an educational hydraulic laboratory accessory developed for convenient positioning of measuring instruments along an open-channel experimental flume.

Accurate measurement of water levels and other hydraulic parameters often requires an instrument to be positioned at several locations along the length of a flow channel. The instrument carrier provides a stable and adjustable platform for performing these measurements.

The carrier is designed to mount on a compatible experimental flume and can be positioned at selected locations along the channel according to experimental requirements.

Suitable measuring devices, such as a point gauge, hook gauge, depth gauge, or other compatible hydraulic measuring instrument, can be mounted on the carrier depending on the laboratory configuration.

The carrier helps maintain the measuring instrument in a stable position above the experimental channel, improving convenience and repeatability during practical measurements.

For water-depth studies, the mounted instrument can be positioned above the required measurement location and adjusted vertically toward the water surface. This enables students to determine local water depth or water-surface elevation.

The carrier is particularly useful for experiments requiring measurements at multiple longitudinal positions along a flume. It can be repositioned to develop water-surface profiles and investigate changes in flow depth around hydraulic models.

It can be used alongside flume accessories such as weirs, gates, flumes, piers, culverts, channel transitions, and other hydraulic models where water-level measurements are required.

The Instrument Carrier for Experimental Flume provides a practical supporting system for accurate hydraulic measurements while keeping the measuring device correctly positioned relative to the test channel.

Micro Technologies supplies Instrument Carriers and compatible experimental flume accessories for engineering colleges, universities, polytechnic institutes, technical training centres, and hydraulic engineering laboratories.

FAQs

What is an Instrument Carrier used for?

An Instrument Carrier is used to support and position compatible measuring instruments at selected locations along an experimental flume.

Can it be used for water-depth measurement?

Yes. When fitted with a suitable measuring gauge, the carrier can be used to determine water depth at different locations in the experimental channel.

Can the carrier be moved along the flume?

The carrier is designed to be positioned at different locations along a compatible experimental flume so measurements can be taken where required.

What instruments can be mounted on the carrier?

Depending on the configuration, it can support compatible instruments such as point gauges, hook gauges, depth gauges, or other suitable hydraulic measuring devices.

Can it be used to measure water-surface profiles?

Yes. Measurements taken at successive positions along the flume can be used to establish a longitudinal water-surface profile.

Can it be used with weir and gate experiments?

Yes. It is useful for measuring water levels upstream and downstream of weirs, gates, and other compatible hydraulic models.

Is the measuring instrument included with the carrier?

The supplied configuration can vary. The required measuring instrument can be specified according to laboratory requirements.
