The Economy Stream Table Kit (Product Code: SLE/ES/20) lets students model how running water shapes land: they build a sediment slope in a long plastic tray, send a controlled flow down it and watch channels, meanders and deposits form. Its sturdy tray is large enough for a group demonstration or for individual investigations, which makes it a practical environmental science kit for secondary geography, earth science and teacher-training classrooms. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tray | Heavy plastic, 48 in x 14 in x 3 in, with drain |
| Outlet | Outlet assembly |
| Hoses | Inlet and outlet hoses, 36 in x 2 in |
| Trough | Special trough for relating the rate of erosion to slope and stream volume |
| Siphon | 72 in x 1/4 in siphon tube with clamp |
| Suitable for | Group study or individual investigations |
Fill the upper part of the tray with damp sand or fine soil, shape a gentle slope towards the drain end, and start a steady flow using the inlet hose or the siphon tube from a raised container; the clamp on the siphon lets you slow or stop the water. Within minutes students can see a channel cut into the sediment, bends develop into meanders, and eroded material settle as a small delta near the outlet. Raising the head of the tray or opening the flow further shows directly how slope and stream volume change the rate of erosion – the relationship the trough is designed to explore.
Because each run takes only a few minutes, classes can repeat trials with different gradients and record channel width or sediment loss, turning the tray into a strong science fair project kit as well as a lesson demonstration. Work near a sink or outdoors, direct the outlet hose into a bucket, and wash out and dry the tray before storing it so sediment does not block the drain.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to schools as ScienceLab, is based in Ambala, Haryana, and builds apparatus for geography, earth science and general science teaching. The company ships to institutions in India and international markets; see our company profile for more about how it works.

What parts come with the kit?
A 48 in x 14 in x 3 in heavy plastic tray with drain, an outlet assembly, 36 in x 2 in inlet and outlet hoses, a trough, and a 72 in x 1/4 in siphon tube with clamp.
Is sand or soil included?
No sediment is listed in the contents. Clean, fine sand or sieved soil from local sources works well; avoid stones that can block the drain.
Can it be used without a tap connection?
Yes. The siphon tube can draw water from a bucket placed higher than the tray, and its clamp controls the flow, so the kit can run in rooms or outdoor areas without plumbing.
How much bench space does it need?
Allow for the 48 in tray length plus room at the head end for the water container and at the drain end for a collecting bucket.
Is a warranty offered?
Warranty and after-sales terms are set out in each quotation; please ask through our contact page for the terms on your order.
What should we include in a tender or bulk enquiry?
Give the product code SLE/ES/20, the number of kits, the delivery location and any related items you want quoted together. We supply schools and institutions in India and international markets.
