HM 162.31 Broad Crested Weirs Set of Two Show data sheet (pdf file)
Technical Description
The HM 162.31 experimental set-up included 2 different wide-crested weir bodies either of which can be fitted to the base of the channel. Rectangular cubes made of PVC are used for the weir body. On one of the weirs the edges on the weir crest are chamfered. Tubular seals made of plastic inserted in slots on the side of the weir bodies complete the experimental set-up. The HM 162.54 Base Plate is required for fitting the weir bodies. In practice, wide crested weirs are used as so-called low overfalls.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
Determination of the coefficient of overflow
Complete and incomplete overflow:
- Comparison of the surface lines for the two cases
Burble on a sharp-edged, wide-crested weir




For exact measurement of water levels, the use of the HM 162.52 Level Gauge on the moving HM 162.59 Instrument Carriage is recommended.
