Flow Over Weirs Apparatus

Introduction of Flow over weirs apparatus

A weir is an overflow structure extending across a stream or a channel and normal to the direction of the flow. They are normally categorized by their shape as either sharp-crested or broad-crested. This laboratory experiment focuses on sharp-crested weirs only. Two different types of weirs will be introduced:
1-    The V-notch weir.
2-    The rectangular weir (horizontal weir with end contractions).

Objective: To Study the Discharge over different type of notches.

Specification of Flow over weirs apparatus:

• Dimensions of rectangular notch:  Height=82mm, width=30mm.
  
• Angle of V notch weir: 900 inclusive.
• Hook and point gauge range: 0 to 150mm.
• Accuracy: 0.1mm.
• Overall dimension of weir plates: Height=190.5mm, Width=178mm, Thickness=4mm.
