Advanced Flumes and Weirs for Efficient Flow Control and Management

Product Details

The open-channel flow meter, also known as a weir or flume, is a type of flow meter used to measure the flow rate of liquids in open channels, such as rivers, canals, and stormwater drainage systems.

The open-channel flow meter works by creating a constriction in the channel, such as a weir or flume, which causes the water level to rise. By measuring the height of the water over the weir or flume, and applying a known formula or calibration curve, the flow rate can be accurately calculated.

Open-channel flow meters are commonly used in water resource management, flood control, irrigation, and wastewater treatment. They are also widely used in environmental monitoring to measure the flow rate of pollutants in rivers and streams.

One of the key advantages of open-channel flow meters is their ability to measure the flow rate of large volumes of water. They are also relatively simple and inexpensive to install and maintain, making them a popular choice for a wide range of applications.

Overall, an open-channel flow meter is a precise and reliable instrument that provides accurate measurement of fluid flow rates in open channels. Its accuracy, versatility, and ease of use make it an essential tool for many environmental and engineering applications.
