The GUNT Siphon Weir HM 161.36 is a fixed weir designed for experimental demonstration of siphon flow behavior and discharge measurement. It allows students and engineers to understand the principle and function of siphon weirs under controlled conditions.
Product Features
- Fixed siphon weir suitable for educational and laboratory applications
- Siphon weirs have a high specific discharge capacity and were historically used as spillways in dams
- When the water level of the reservoir rises to a certain level, the siphon starts, creating a discharge pressure with full flow
- Discharge capacity is higher than a free overfall, and flow stops abruptly when air enters the siphon
- The transparent siphon weir HM 161.36 includes an air vent for comparison of function and discharge capacity with and without venting
- Discharge of the activated siphon weir can be interrupted at any time using the air vent
Benefits
- Demonstrates the operation and principles of siphon weirs clearly
- High discharge capacity allows observation of full-flow behavior
- Air vent feature enables controlled interruption of flow for teaching and analysis
- Durable construction ensures reliable performance in laboratory settings
