Product Code : LSK-FM-10477
Pelton Wheel (turbine) (SKU LSK-FM-10477) is a teaching impulse turbine with a variable spear jet at its inlet, built so students can see and study how a water jet drives a bucketed runner. It supports turbine topics in B.Tech mechanical and civil engineering and in polytechnic hydraulics courses. The turbine is a Science Lab Supplies product, manufactured at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India; we deliver it directly to engineering colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This is an impulse turbine with tangential flow: the jet strikes the runner at a tangent. The large runner carries buckets arranged in pairs to balance the wheel and work efficiently, a variable spear jet sets the jet velocity, and a clear side window shows the turbine in action.

Applications and Experiments for the Pelton Wheel
The turbine is used to show how an impulse machine turns the kinetic energy of a jet into shaft rotation. By changing the spear jet setting, students see how jet velocity affects the way water hits the buckets, which underpins turbine performance and efficiency studies in fluid mechanics lab experiments.
- B.Tech fluid machinery: working principle of an impulse (Pelton) turbine.
- Effect of jet velocity, set by the spear jet, on runner behaviour.
- Comparing impulse and reaction turbines, and why Pelton wheels suit high-head, low-flow sites.
- Diploma hydraulics: identifying runner, buckets and spear jet through the viewing window.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Pelton Wheel (turbine) is supplied as a single unit as described above, with its runner, paired buckets, variable spear jet and side viewing window. Any water supply, drive or measuring accessories you need with it are listed separately on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one turbine or several for parallel student groups. It gives the packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and other turbines or test modules from the Fluid Mechanics range can be quoted together with it.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Reach us on the contact page, collect items in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for tender enquiries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the buckets arranged in pairs?
Paired buckets split the jet evenly, which balances the wheel and lets it absorb the energy in the water efficiently.
What does the variable spear jet do?
It changes the velocity of the water that hits the buckets, so students can see how jet speed affects the turbine's behaviour.
Who manufactures this Pelton wheel?
Science Lab Supplies does, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India. Orders and quotations are handled by the maker itself, with no trader in between.
Which drive and measuring equipment does it work with?
The listing does not name the test rig it mounts on. Tell us your existing equipment through the contact page and we will confirm the matching set-up on the quotation.
