Sluice Gate
Product Code : EL-EFFCA-11062
The Sluice Gate accessory from Lab Exports is a movable control structure fitted to the experimental flume, letting students study free and submerged discharge under a sluice gate, jet contraction (vena contracta) and downstream hydraulic jumps.
Specifications
| Compatibility | Sluice gate for the experimental flume |
| Sealing | Lateral sealing lips |
| Height Adjustment | Manual |
| Measurement | Scale to read the height of gate opening |
Key Features
- Movable vertical control structure causing controlled backwater in the flume
- Manual height adjustment with a scale for reading gate opening height
- Lateral sealing lips prevent side leakage during testing
- Allows study of both free and submerged discharge conditions
- Enables observation of jet contraction (vena contracta) downstream of the gate
- Supports observation of hydraulic jumps formed downstream of the gate
Applications
The Sluice Gate accessory is used with the experimental flume to study open-channel flow control structures, helping students observe free discharge, submerged discharge, jet contraction and hydraulic jump formation under a sluice gate at varying gate openings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Sluice Gate accessory demonstrate?
It demonstrates free and submerged discharge under a sluice gate, jet contraction and downstream hydraulic jumps.
Q2. How is the gate opening adjusted?
The gate height is adjusted manually and read using a graduated scale.
Q3. What prevents side leakage during testing?
Lateral sealing lips on the gate prevent leakage along the flume side walls.
Q4. What is vena contracta?
Vena contracta is the contraction of the water jet observed just downstream of the sluice gate opening, which students can directly observe with this accessory.
Q5. What apparatus is this accessory used with?
The Sluice Gate is designed for use with the Lab Exports Experimental Flume Flow Channel Apparatus.
