| Canal Parshall |
The Parshall flume was developed by
the U.S. Soil Conservation Service in the 1920's to measure irrigation
water flow. Its principle advantages include low head loss, self cleaning
capability, and its ability to withstand relatively high degrees of submergence
without affecting the rate of flow. Parshall flumes are best used in channels
having rectangular cross-sections. Extreme care must be taken when mating
them to circular channels. |
| Options | |
| Accura-FloTM Parshall flumes are available
in one-piece construction or in easily assembled panel design. Where access
to the proposed location is limited or the overall size of the flume makes
transportation difficult, the flumes are constructed of two or more pieces.
Other options include: • Inlet/outlet adapters for circular channels • Nested inserts for greater measuring range • Stilling wells • Staff gauges • Wing walls • Wide variety of instrument accessories |
