Elements for Energy Dissipation (FM-1361.7)

DESCRIPTION:

Elements for Energy Dissipation (FM-1361.7)

The elements for energy dissipation included in are used together with the ogee-crested weir. All elements to be studied are mounted on a base plate. The weir with chute block included in replaces the weir of. The end sills and baffle blocks are placed downstream of the weir. They can be used individually or combined. All elements are made of PVC.

Specification

  • All elements made of PVC
  • 1 weir with chute block, 2 baffle blocks with 5 rectangular blocks, 1 baffle block with 5 triangular blocks, 2 end sills with different height.
