The volumetric flow rate can be derived from the weir width b and the weir head z. The width b is a function
of the weir head z. b=2z. The weir head z, is measured indirectly. The height h of the water level is measured
given the constants: h0 = 4.7 cm, h1= 6.0 cm. The weir head z is calculated a follows, z = h0 + h1- h

The actual volumetric flow rate Q can be determined with the aid of the volumetric tank of the HM 150
using stopwatch. It is advisable to measure the filling time t for 10 liters. A good volume display is obtained
in the scale range between 20 and 30 liters.

Performing of the Activity
1. Check the following: Water supply from the main source
2. Check whether the equipment is free from any kind of obstruction that can affect your operation.
3. After conducting preliminary check-up, start performing if everything is in order.
4. Fill the HM 150 with water and establish the power supply.
5. Attach the triangular-profile for the first and second trial. Record the required data for calculation
and observation.
6. After performing and getting all the data, turn off machine and disconnect the plug from the
electricity source.
7. Clean the equipment.
