1 Unit description
The accessory set HM150.03 Flow Over Weirs is

used together with the HM150 Fluid Mechanics
Basic Module [3].
The HM150 contains a channel section [5]. The
water enters at the bottom left and then flows to
the right over a weir into the volumetric tank. A weir
[2] with V-profile and a weir [2] with rectangular
profile are available for experimentation purposes.

2 3
The weir head is determined with the aid of the

height sensor [1]. The volumetric flow rate can then
be calculated from the above.
The volumetric flow rate is determined using the
volumetric tank [3] and the volume scale [6].
The volumetric flow rate is set on the ball cock [4],
which regulates the pump of the HM150.

2 Preparation
Two weirs are provided, namely:
A V-profile weir and a rectangular-profile weir.
These are bolted to the outlet end of the channel,

using 4 knurled screws.
The height sensor is arranged over the channel

such that it faces the weir (refer to illustration on
page 2).

Filling the HM150 with water and establishing the

power supply completes the preparatory work.
