APPENDIX 1
Example: Flow – Special Flume Mapping
Use default flow example on Page 39, but substitute a special 'U' throat flume with maximum
flow 50 litres/second at 30 cm/head.
First, create the following table from the relationship of head and flow, which must be given
for the special flume.
Point Head (m) Flow
litres/sec
% Flow
1 0.000 0.0 000.0
2 0.025 0.6 001.1
3 0.050 2.2 004.4
4 0.075 4.8 009.5
5 0.100 8.1 016.2
6 0.150 16.3 032.5
7 0.200 26.0 052.0
8 0.250 37.5 075.0
9 0.300 50.0 100.0
