H1-1/H1-2/H1-3 – Vernier Hook & Point Gauges

The measurement of steady state water surface position is frequently needed during hydraulic investigations.

This is done by using a small point or hook manually adjusted to touch the water surface, and a reading is taken of the vertical movement using a scale or vernier.

Description

The measurement of steady state water surface position is frequently needed during hydraulic investigations.

This is done by using a small point or hook manually adjusted to touch the water surface, and a reading is taken of the vertical movement using a scale or vernier.

A mounting frame is clamped to a suitable support structure and a gauging rod is free to slide up and down over the water surface. A stainless steel hook or point is attached to the bottom end of the rod and is used to locate the water surface.

Gauging is carried out by means of a primary scale attached to the mounting frame and a vernier scale attached to the rod. The scales are in edge contact.

The rod is held in a screwed collar for fine adjustment and can be released for large, rapid changes of position. Zero can be reset by a locking screw positioned on the vernier scale.
