NOTCH ,WEIR AND ITS TYPES Notch A notch may be defined as an obstruction over which the flow of liquid occurs In case of measuring tank or reservoir, the opening is provided at the side of the tank such that the liquid surface in the tank is below the top edge of the opening. Weir A weir is a notch on a large scale used for measuring the flow of a river, canal etc. It is a concrete or masonry structure of substantial breadth built across the river in the direction of flow. This allows the excess water to flow over its entire length to the downstream side. Thus a weir is similar to a small dam constructed across the river, with a difference that the excess water flows downstream only through a small portion called spillway and in case of weir, the excess water flows over its entire length. Nappe and crest The sheet of water flowing through a notch or over a weir is known as nappe or vein . The bott...

Instruments used for chain surveying Classification of surveying: Chain Surveying Compass Surveying Plane Table Surveying Tachometric Surveying Etc. Instruments used for chain surveying: The various instruments used in chain surveying are as follows. Chain Arrows Pegs Ranging Rods Offset Rods Plumb Bob 1. Chain: Chains are used to measure horizontal distances. Chains are formed of straight links of galvanized mild steel wire called links. The ends of each link are bent into a loop hand connected together by means of three oval rings which afford flexibility to the chain. The chains made of mind steel. The ends of the chin are provided with brass handles for dragging the chain on the ground. The outside of the handle is the zero point or the end point of t...
