Choosing which measurement device you’re going to use for your flume or weir is one of the most important decisions in the entire flow rate measurement process. Both bubblers and ultrasonic flow meters can get the job done, but the best option depends largely on the conditions of your flow channel. Check out the important […]

Turbulence can cause a lot of problems when you’re trying to get accurate flow rate measurements. Uniform flow won’t mean much if turbulence is throwing off the levels, but the presence of turbulence doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Learn how to control turbulence and ensure that you’re getting the accurate measurements you need. The

One of the most common ways to measure flow rate in a fiberglass flume is to use a staff gauge. This simple device has measurements displayed on the side, and all you have to do is take the measurement where the surface of the water is. While that sounds simple enough, there are actually quite
Common Errors with Staff Gauges Read More »
Staff gauges are among the most popular ways to take measurements in flumes and weirs because they’re not only easy to read, but relatively affordable as well. That convenience can come at a cost, however, if you happen to make any of the errors commonly associated with reading these gauges. Learn about the common problems

Ultrasonic sensors are among the most popular and easiest ways to take flow rate measurements in a flume or weir box. They utilize sonic waves to measure surface height of a flow without ever having to even touch the water directly. To set them up, however, you’ll need special brackets to keep them in place.

Flumes and weirs are great for measuring flow rate, but you’ll still need an actual device to do the measurements themselves. Quite a few different options are available, but one of the most common is the staff gauge. While they may seem straightforward, it’s important to understand how a staff gauge is meant to function

One of the most popular ways to take readings from a flume is to utilize a staff gauge. While reading these gauges may seem easy at a glance, there are actually a few ways it can go wrong without you even realizing it. To make sure you’re always taking the accurate measurements you need, be
Tips for Reading Staff Guages Read More »
While there are several ways to measure flow rate in a flume, one of the most popular is using an ultrasonic flow meter. These handy devices are able to provide accurate measurements while sitting steadily over the flow, typically on a mount positioning it just above the center of the channel. Knowing exactly how ultrasonic
