Trapezoidal Flumes
Trapezoidal Flume Sizes & Options
Trapezoidal flumes are typically available in 10 different sizes based on throat width and geometry. They are an excellent choice where flows vary, the channel is flat, or there are high levels of debris load in the flow stream.
The most common trapezoidal flumes include the following sizes and styles for the recommended flow rates:
- Small 60 Degree V for 1 - 43 GPM
- Large 60 Degree V for 1 - 156 GPM
- Extra Large 60 Degree V for 1 - 663 GPM
- 8” 60 Degree V for 101 - 7955 GPM
- 12” X 45 - Degree for 74 - 2681 GPM

Trapezoidal Flume Advantages
- A Straight Through Bottom for silt and debris passage
- Operates Under High Submergence Levels as compared to Parshall flumes
- Trapezoidal Cross-Section conforms to natural channels and conveys large flows while providing accuracy for low flows
Trapezoidal Flume Applications
Trapezoidal flumes are a great option for projects with low flows, such as various sanitary and industrial sewer applications. These types of flumes are typically seen in:
- Dam Seepage
- Irrigation Canals
- Watershed Monitoring
- Ditch and furrow Flows
- Monitoring Industrial Discharge
Trapezoidal flumes can be used in other applications as well. To discuss your specific project and how a trapezoidal flume can help you meet your needs, contact TRACOM today.
