Measuring piped flows below grade can be an extremely difficult task, which is why consulting engineers should be very careful about the measuring device that they choose. While flumes are a popular choice for measuring different types of flows, using them to measure piped flows poses several problems, including choosing end adapters and adjusting for […]

When measuring certain types of flow, accuracy is of the utmost importance, and this is especially true when it comes to measuring water rights withdrawals. Increasingly, State Engineer’s Offices are requiring water rights management operations to use flow measuring devices, and this makes it crucial that you use the right device in your system. If

Thin plate weirs are one of the most popular primary devices for operations that need to measure flow. A thin plate weir provides a great deal of versatility and accuracy, particularly when you are using your weir in outdoor applications. However, like every flow measuring device, there are certain limits to how you can use

When you need to measure flow, a flume is perhaps your best choice for a primary device, and this is particularly true when you need to measure piped flow. When connecting a flume to a pipe for measurement purposes, there are several factors that you will need to take into account, including the slope of

For most water management operations, installing a permanent primary measurement device is a good choice. However, in certain situations, such as measuring watersheds or surface water flows, a permanent flume isn’t necessary. If you only need to measure flow for a set period of time, then a temporary flume installation might be the best solution.

There are any number of situations where you might need to measure water flow, including in earthen channels and furrows. However, measuring flow in these locations can be very difficult, particularly if you don’t have the right tools at your disposal. Fortunately, if you need to measure earthen channel flow and don’t want to set

Installing a flume in your water management system is a very delicate process. If you don’t install your flume correctly, it can lead to major problems that threaten the viability of your operation. One of the most common issues your flume can encounter is a problem with its hydraulics, meaning its floor is too low

An H-flume is one of the most versatile flumes you can install in your system. While H-flumes are primarily used to measure watershed runoffs and irrigation, they can be used in a wide variety of other applications. In addition to being able to measure a large range of flows, H-flumes also provide several different mounting

With many water management tools, it’s common for uses to be found outside of their original purpose. Take, for example, the trapezoidal flume. The trapezoidal flume was originally designed to measure irrigation flows, and while this is still the primary usage of this flume, it is also frequently used to measure flows in ditches. Before
