Use only for clarifiers 150' diameter or larger, or straight applications

Fabrication: Weir plates shall be furnished with oversized holes or slots for mounting. Typical mounting holes are 2-5/8”ø on 2’0” c-c. Other hole sizes or slots at other center to center configurations can be furnished as required. Weir and baffle splice plates are fabricated from sheet molded plates, manufactured as above.

Availability:
Standard weir sizes are:
                         ¼” x 9” tall with 2” vee on 4” centers x 11’11-1/2” long

                         ¼” x 9-1/2” tall with 2-1/2” vee on 6” c-c x 11’11-1/2” long

                         ¼” x 10” tall with 3” vee on 6” centers x 11’11-1/2” long
Standard scum baffles are:
                         ¼” x 12" tall x 12'0" long
Standard scum baffle brackets are:
                         upper - 4" wide x 6" deep x 10" tall
                         lower - 4" wide x 7" deep x 10" tall

Manufacture of Components:
Standard weir plates, scum baffle plates, scum baffle support brackets, weir washers, and splice plates are sheet molded in match metal molds to produce smooth resin rich surfaces free of voids and porosity. Pressure in molds will exceed 10 psig. Molded edges of all parts are sealed in the mold. Holes or other cuts are sealed after cutting. Bevels on standard vee patterns are molded-in bevels.

Physical Properties of Laminate: (Resin Transfer Molded)
