Sedimentation Studies Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-WT-13963
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Sedimentation Studies Apparatus (Product ID: 13963), part of the Water Treatment range under Water and Sanitation equipment, used to study the settling behavior of solid particles in a fluid.
Quick Answer
The Sedimentation Studies Apparatus lets students observe and analyze the gravitational, buoyant, and drag forces acting on a settling particle, using five individually mounted borosilicate glass settling cylinders (50 to 51mm internal diameter, 1 metre long) alongside an electronic stopwatch and three 2-litre collecting tanks.
Key Specifications

| Application | Studying settling/sedimentation of solid particles from fluids under gravity |
| Settling cylinders | 5, individually mounted, graduated, for simultaneous or comparative experiments |
| Cylinder material | Borosilicate glass, for transparency and chemical resistance |
| Internal diameter | 50 to 51mm |
| Cylinder length | Approximately 1 metre, for sufficient settling distance |
| Timing | Electronic stopwatch, for accurate measurement of settling time and velocity |
| Collecting tanks | 3, approximately 2 litres each |
| Forces studied | Gravitational force (downward, due to mass), buoyant force (upward, from the fluid), and drag force (resistive, opposing particle motion) |
Where This Unit Is Used
The Sedimentation Studies Apparatus is used in environmental and civil engineering laboratories to teach settling theory relevant to water and wastewater treatment design, forming part of a broader range of water treatment equipment such as the Deep Bed Filter Column.
Frequently Asked Questions
What phenomenon does this apparatus study?
Settling or sedimentation of solid particles in a fluid, letting students observe the gravitational, buoyant, and drag forces acting on a particle as it settles.
How many settling cylinders does it have, and what are they made of?
Five individually mounted, graduated borosilicate glass cylinders, each 50 to 51mm internal diameter and approximately 1 metre long.
How is settling time measured?
With an electronic stopwatch, used to accurately record settling time and calculate settling velocity.
What are the collecting tanks used for?
Three approximately 2-litre collecting tanks are provided for gathering the settled or separated fluid/solids during experiments.
