Aluminum H Flumes
Aluminum H Flumes can be a good choice where resistance to abrasion or physical damage is required but where the flume must be light enough to move from site-to-site or to a remote area. Aluminum H Flumes are most commonly used to measure edge-of-field runoff, watersheds, and mine dewatering flows.
Aluminum Advantages
Aluminum H Flumes from Openchannelflow are fabricated from 5052 alloy and:
- Have good resistance to abrasion and damage
- Are light weight
- and are available with some accessories and mounting / end configuration options
Contact Openchannelflow for additional details.
Measuring Watersheds with H Flumes
A watershed is an area of land that feeds all surface and ground water into a single body of water (stream, river, lake, etc.). Watersheds can combine to form progressively large watershed networks that drain into progressively larger bodies of water. Watersheds are…
Edge-of-Field Performance Video of a 2.5-Foot H Flume
H Flumes are widely used to measure edge-of-field flows. The ability of the H Flume to pass sediments easily and the wide range of flows that it can accurately measure make the flume uniquely suited to the application. Here a time-lapse video…
Effects on Flow Accuracy of Drops into H Flume Approach Sections
The H flume was developed to measure runoff in small experimental plots and agricultural watersheds. Like a weir, the H flume develops a backwater effect at higher flow rates. In low gradient applications, this backwater effect can cause flooding. To minimize…
The heavy-duty construction of Openchannelflow aluminum H Flumes provides good resistance to abrasion by flow stream sediments and damage by physical abuse. This resistance to damage is particularly useful in mine dewatering applications.
Aluminum H Flumes weigh about 1/3rd less than similar fiberglass - meaning that they are easily handled, are more portable, and require less manpower / equipment to install than other metal constructed H Flumes.
Aluminum construction does not lend itself to as many accessories or mounting / end configuration options as stainless steel or fiberglass H Flumes, but many of the more common ones are available.
