The GUNT Siphon Weir (HM 160.36) is a fixed weir used to study high-capacity discharge phenomena in open channels. Traditionally employed as spillways in dams, siphon weirs provide high specific discharge and allow precise observation of flow behavior.
Product Features
- Fixed siphon weir for HM 160 experimental flume
- Transparent design with integrated air vent for visual observation
- Demonstrates high discharge capacity when water level triggers the siphon
- Flow stops abruptly when air enters the siphon after water level falls
- Allows comparison of siphon function with and without venting
- Discharge can be interrupted anytime via the air vent
- Durable construction suitable for educational and research experiments
Benefits
- Enables hands-on study of siphon operation and high-discharge flow
- Supports hydraulic engineering education and open-channel flow research
- Visual observation of air vent effects and flow interruption
- Facilitates understanding of spillway design and operation
Why Choose GUNT Siphon Weir?
The GUNT HM 160.36 Siphon Weir provides a clear, practical platform for studying high-capacity flow, siphon operation, and discharge control. Its transparent design and air vent feature make it ideal for hands-on learning and hydraulic research.
