Radial Sector Gate
Product Code : LSK-FM-10438
Radial Sector Gate (SKU LSK-FM-10438) is a model radial gate, also called a Tainter gate, that is installed in a laboratory flume to demonstrate the head/flow and discharge characteristics of this control structure. It suits open channel hydraulics practicals for civil engineering degree and diploma students. The gate is one of the flume models that Science Lab Supplies manufactures at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India; colleges, tender contractors and distributors can order it straight from that plant.
Specifications
For this radial gate model, each specification sits on its own row below. In short, it is a radial section gate designed as an accessory for a flow channel (flume), which provides the water flow and measurements, and it is used to show head/flow and discharge characteristics; the flume itself is not included with the gate.

Applications and Experiments for the Radial Sector Gate
In the flume, students set a gate opening, vary the flow and record the upstream head, building up the relationship between head, flow and discharge for a radial gate. The experiment introduces the gates used on dam spillways and irrigation canals, and it pairs well with sluice gate tests.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering open channel flow lab: head against discharge.
- Finding a discharge coefficient for the gate at different openings.
- Diploma irrigation engineering: how canal control gates regulate flow, compared with weir control on the Discharge Over a Notch apparatus.
- Seeing flow around gates as dye streamlines in the acrylic Flow Visualisation Channel, which comes with its own gates, weirs and hydrofoils.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Radial Sector Gate is supplied as a single unit as described above, ready to fit in a flume. The flume is not included, so its water supply and flow measurement come from the channel you use; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may request a price for a single gate or a complete set of flume models, and the quotation will state packing, delivery time and price for the quantity chosen. Other channel models for fluid mechanics lab experiments can be added to the same list.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar. If you are equipping a flume, ask for this gate on the contact page or add it to the enquiry cart with the other models; government and institutional tenders are handled through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a flume included with the gate?
No. The gate is an accessory for use with a flume, which is not included. Tell us the flume you have so the fitting can be confirmed on the quotation.
What is a radial gate used for?
Radial gates control flow in canals and on spillways. In the lab, the model shows how discharge under the gate depends on the upstream head and the opening.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
This gate model is made in the Science Lab Supplies workshop at Saha, Ambala, India. The company is therefore the manufacturer, and its own team prepares the quotation you receive.
Can it be quoted with other flume models?
Yes. Gates, weirs, spillways, culverts and other channel models can go on one quotation, with packing arranged for the full set of items you select.
Related Flume Models
A radial gate is one of several structures studied in the same flume. These Fluid Mechanics models cover other gates, weirs, spillways, culverts, piers and siphons, so one channel can support a full open channel practical course on a single quotation.
- Sluice Gate with Tappings — face pressure investigated against flow rate and depth.
- Notched Weirs — holder with one rectangular and two V notches.
- Spillway — detachable ski jump and plain apron.
- Culvert — clear circular and rectangular section models.
- Bridge Piers — four differently profiled piers with a pair of sediment walls.
- Self-Regulating Siphon — passes a mixture of air and water.
