To protect flumes in above ground applications, Openchannelflow has developed a range of fiberglass enclosures that factory integrate small flow measuring flumes. Enclosure integration: Safeguards the installation - restricting access to the flume and flow meter Reduces the…

Originally developed to provide both low-end sensitivity and wide flow, Trapezoidal flumes have expanded beyond the agricultural applications they were designed to measure a wide range of pipe flows.   Trapezoidal flumes can be found on pipes measuring:  Dam…

Used to measure municpal sewage, industrial effluent, dam seepage, storm water, and irrigation / agricultural flows, the Parshall flume is the best known and most widely used primary device monitoring water in open channels and non-full pipes. Parshall flumes offer a number of…

Under free-flow conditions, short-throated flumes control flow in a region of the flume that produces curvilinear flow.  As such, there is only one point of measurement at which the level-to-flow relationship holds.  This primary point of measurement, Ha, occurs in the…
