NOTCH APPARATUS WITH S.S. TANK - VIPL - FM - 7007
Model Number : EIE-FM-007
Weir or a notch is a barrier across a fluid path designed to alter its flow characteristics. Weirs are commonly used to alter the flow of rivers to prevent flooding, measure discharge, and help render rivers navigable. Notches or Weirs allow hydrologists and engineers a simple method of measuring the volumetric flow rate in small to medium sized streams, or in industrial discharge locations. Since the geometry of the top of the weir is known and all water flows over the weir, the depth of water behind the weir can be converted to a rate of flow. Detailed Specification as follows:
Construction Details:
- The complete unit comprises of a test bench with sump tank & measuring tank. The exterior body of the unit is powder coated in attractive shades. The lab set up consist of channel having sufficient length & width in which water is supplied from the bottom. Required notch is fitted at one end of this channel. A scale is fitted to measure the height of the fluid in flow channel. Arrangement for fixing inter changeable notches is also made. Set up is self contained water re‑circulating unit provided with sump tank and measuring tank. Flow control valve and by pass valve are fitted in flow line to conduct experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate is measured with the help of stop watch and measuring tank.
Applications:
Measuring volumetric flow rate in small to medium water streams
- Measuring volumetric flow rate in industrial discharge locations
- Application in studying and altering the river path thereby preventing floods
- Application in industrial dams
