Weir Box Applications
Fiberglass weir boxes are used to measure treated industrial flows. They are popular for generating a highly accurate measurement in low flow systems. Weir boxes should not be used in operations that may have floating debris, such as trash or solid contents, as this can raise the weir pool depth and create inaccurate flow readings. Additionally, research has suggested that weirs and weir boxes should only be used with normal flow temperatures (39-86°F). TRACOM will be happy to work with you to design a customized product that meets your operation’s needs!

Weir Box FAQ's
Flumes are good for many situations and are mostly resistant to blockage and backup, but certain flumes may not be as accurate as others. On the other hand, weirs are good for measures very accurately, but due to the plate used to measure, sediment and other materials in the flow may become backed up in under the v-notch.
Primarily, sediment and sewage can effect weir accuracy. Sewage can block up the bottom of the weir plate, which can in turn alter how well the weir measures.
