What’s on the Weirs & Flumes poster
A 6-row table: Device · Best suited to.
Measure the head, read the flow from a calibrated law.
- Thin plate V-notch — Small flows, wide range
- Thin plate rectangular — Moderate steady flows
- Broad crested weir — Larger flows, some debris
- Venturi flume — Silty flow, low head loss
- Crump weir — River gauging stations
- Orifice or gate — Controlled release, not gauging
Educational reference. Every device has a calibrated head-discharge law and installation limits set by its standard.

- Who is the Weirs & Flumes poster for?
- Weirs & Flumes belongs to the Civil Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning water resources can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Weirs & Flumes poster?
- Choosing a gauging structure for a stream, channel or discharge. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Weirs & Flumes belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Weirs & Flumes?
- Culvert Design, Continuity & Energy and Groundwater & Wells sit alongside Weirs & Flumes in the Civil Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Culvert DesignContinuity & EnergyGroundwater & Wells
- Is the Weirs & Flumes poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Weirs & Flumes downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Civil Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Weirs & Flumes poster print at?
- Weirs & Flumes is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Weirs & Flumes loses nothing.Printing guide
