Staff Gauges

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 […]

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

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

While there are plenty of ways to read flow rate measurements with a flume, one of the most basic is a staff gauge. A staff gauge doesn’t bother with ultrasonic pulses or anything too fancy, as it’s just a meter attached to the interior wall of the flume with measurements and notches on it. You

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

While there are plenty of methods used to read the measurements in a flume, the staff gauge is among the most common. This is largely because a staff gauge is easy to install and has numbers you can simply read based on where the flow level is within the flume. Ensuring that you’re reading it

One of the best ways to measure flow using a weir or flume is to use a staff gauge. This low-tech solution is reliable and cost-efficient provided it’s applied correctly. Even then, however, there are still a few factors that can throw off your measurements. Learn about the most common staff gauge measurement errors, so
