ABSTRACT:
A composite weir construction for evenly dividing liquid flows in conduits or containers having a liquid-gas interface under the influence of gravity or accelleration is presented. In particular, this device is for flows wherein clogging of narrow weirs is a problem, and where weir elevation differences are also a problem. When these weirs are placed in the flow, new weirs are gradually formed which is are composites made from the clogging agent and the original weirs. These new composite weirs are very accurate in flow division over a wide range of flows in spite of substantial vertical misalignment of the original weirs.
