The GUNT Broad-Crested Weir (HM 160.31) is a control structure designed for studying flow behavior and discharge in open channels. Broad-crested weirs are often fully submerged in downstream water, and under certain conditions, they can serve as measuring weirs for flow rate determination.
Product Features
- Cuboid-shaped weir body with sharp edges for basic flow experiments
- Two additional elements can be added to create rounded edges
- Demonstrates free and submerged overfall conditions clearly
- Allows observation of the effect of sharp-edged vs. rounded weir crest on the nappe
- Durable construction suitable for educational and research experiments
- Easy integration with the HM 160 experimental flume
Benefits
- Supports practical study of broad-crested weir flow behavior
- Enables comparison between sharp-edged and rounded crest effects
- Facilitates measurement of flow under various hydraulic conditions
- Enhances understanding of free and submerged overfall phenomena
