PCT No. PCT/EP88/00789 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 2, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 2, 1990 PCT Filed Sep. 1, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/02006 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 9, 1989.The invention concerns a weir with an on a horizontal axis tilting gate (1). The control is automatic and completely mechanical and operates without an external source of energy. The control uses a float/counterweight (4) placed in an enclosure (5) which is in connection with the upstream level. The float/counterweight (4) is connected to the equator (13) on the gate (1) by a transmission mechanism consisting of (7), (10) and (11). The float/counterweight (4) is in balance with the hydraulic forces on the gate (1). The tilting axis is placed about 0.4 of the height of the gate (1) from the underside. During large discharges the gate (1) tilts further to increase the flow. This enables the weir to establish within shorter time the desired level. A horizontal submerged grate (15) prevents choking of the weir. The gate (1) can adjusted vertically by a leadscrew (16) to set the weirlevel. A threshold-beam (20) is connected to guidings (17) to the gate-equilibrium by every adjusted height.
