Using a flume is one of the best ways to get accurate measurements of pipe flow. If you want to make sure those measurements are correct, the pipe slope must be properly aligned to avoid energetic flows. Learn why pipe slope is such a crucial factor, and discover how pipe slope affects flume operation. How […]
Flumes are among the best ways to properly measure flow rate. In order for them to function correctly, however, the approaching flow needs to be at a certain velocity. If it’s too fast or too slow, the measurement will be thrown off, leading to inaccurate results that make the entire process a waste. Fortunately, there

When it comes to wastewater management, there are quite a few different factors involved. Among the most important is having the right tools at your disposal. Because wastewater is so often filled with large debris and particles, you’ll need a tool that lets you deal with them before they cause pump clogs, which can be
Flumes are among the most common methods of open channel flow measurement, and Parshall flumes are the most popular type. Thanks to the numerous advantages they offer, it’s easy to see why so many won’t settle for anything less than the best. Learn about the six most important Parshall flume advantages you can enjoy. Channel
Palmer-Bowlus flumes are among the most popular kinds of flumes used for flow measurement. Flumes are great for open channel flows, and the best-quality options can provide you with accurate measurements for years without issue as long as you perform routine maintenance on them every now and then. While these flumes can provide accurate measurements,

When you’re implementing a weir for flow measurement, there are several factors that go into taking accurate measurements. The weir needs to be properly installed, and the flow needs to be effectively regulated. Even the measuring itself has to be done properly if you want to reach that +/- 2% margin of error most weirs
To get the most out of your weir flow measurements, it’s helpful to know the proper terminology. The process can be quite complicated, and not knowing the vocabulary used can be a significant barrier to learning what you need to know. That’s why we’ve created this easy list of all the most important concepts. Here
Weirs are used much like flumes to measure flow rate in open channel systems. While they both offer generally the same outcome, there are quite a few essential differences that set weirs and flumes apart from each other. One of those differences is how you take the measurements. You won’t get much use out of
A weir is like a flume in that it’s used to measure open-channel flows, but there is a key difference that could determine whether or not a weir is right for the particular flow you’re working with. Weirs have to be cleaned regularly, so they’re best used for flows with a relatively limited amount of
To get accurate flow rate measurements, you’ll need a quality flume. Finding the right one can take a bit of searching, as there are several companies, each with multiple options available. During that search, however, there’s one question you need to keep in mind before you make a decision. Am I buying from a flume
