Key Features
- Three interchangeable weir types, sharp-crested, broad-crested and ogee shaped, fitted at the end of the channel
- Centrifugal pump circulates water through the open channel over the weir under test
- Flow collected downstream can be directed to the measuring tank or back to the sump
- Enables comparison of discharge characteristics across different weir profiles
- Compact self-contained unit with 1/2 HP monoblock pump
- Demonstrates practical use of weirs for measuring river/stream flow rates
Applications
The Flow Over Weir Or Open Channel Apparatus is used in fluid mechanics laboratories to study open-channel hydraulics and weir-based flow measurement, helping students determine discharge coefficients for sharp-crested, broad-crested and ogee weirs and compare their performance.
