Connections and Measurements
If you’ve never used a weir before, then you may not know then many benefits of this primary device, including the multiple options for controlling how flow exits and enters your weir box. For instance, while many people choose to pipe flow into and out of their weir box, others may prefer free-spilling flow. However, if you choose this option, there are certain difficulties you will need to overcome.
When you allow flow to spill freely into your weir box, there is a big risk for splashing, which can have a tremendously negative impact on the accuracy of your readings. Luckily, correcting this issue is very easy when you have the right tool.
Using a Splash Guard
Splashing can cause a variety of problems inside of your weir box, including creating waves and foam on the surface of your flow. Fortunately, if you want to use free-spilling flow without the risks of splashing, you can equip your weir box with a splash guard.
Adding a splash guard to your weir box can contain the splashing that may interfere with your flow and your readings. A splash guard is also able to prevent the foam caused by splashing from entering your weir box with the rest of the flow. Installing a splash guard is the best way to get the most out of your weir box by protecting your flow from the effects of splashing.
Other Weir Box Accessories
If you want your weir box to be as useful as possible, choosing the right accessories is important. In addition to a splash guard, for instance, you could equip your weir box with an underflow baffle.
With an underflow baffle, you can condition the flow in your weir box so that it has the proper velocity, guaranteeing the accuracy of your measurements. Combining a splash guard and underflow baffle can maximize the utility of your weir box so that your system will be successful.
