Abstract:

A rinsing tank constructed to allow low volume water flow from an ingress point at one end of the tank to an outlet. Weirs are provided in the path of water flow to normally dam scum driven by the water flow yet allow passage of water. The rinsing water is, therefore, free of scum over a major part of its surface to permit immersion into and withdrawal from clear water of parts to be rinsed. Immersion of parts raises the water level in the tanks whereby scum dammed by the weirs can rise and pass over the weirs to the tank outlet.
