Above Ground Flume Enclosures

To protect flumes in above ground applications, Openchannelflow has developed a range of Fiberglass Enclosures that factory integrate small flow measuring flumes. The turnkey design allows the unit to be dropped in place and requires little in the way of site preparation.

Enclosure integration:

Safeguards the installation - restricting access to the flume and flow meter sensor
Reduces the likelihood that the flow meter sensor is accidentally moved
Provides a clean, neat, and professional installation appearance
Provides chain-of-custody for the meter and its measurements

Each fiberglass enclosure comes standard with: molded-in / U.V. protected color (white is standard but other colors are available), self-opening dual gas struts, stainless steel hinges, and a stainless steel pad lockable hasp.
