We offer a wide range of premium quality V-Notch or Sharp Crested Weirs. V-Notches or Sharp Crested Weirs are generally used for measuring small discharges like seepage from drains and gallery of masonry dam or toe drains. V-Notches can measure discharge from 1 lit/sec to 120 lit/sec maximum. For low discharges, V-Notches are superior to Flumes because head over the crest is large and thus flow remains unaffected by surface tension and viscosity. V-Notches have their own limitation and not suitable for discharge measurements in field channels due to obstruction of silt.
The Indian Standards Institute (ISI) has drawn specifications for manufacture of V-Notches. Ni-Plast make V-Notches confirm to Indian Standards IS: 9108-1979.
Mechanical and Electronic recorders are available with Ni-Plast V-Notches these enable automatic data recording of discharge measurements. Periodic discharge measurements at preset time intervals are logged in a data logger that is housed in the electronic recorder unit. The data logger can be connected to a desktop PC to download the data for further processing and generate reports like water seepage, water discharge during a given period of time, water accountability etc.
