FLUMES
Parshall Flume
» sized by throat width
» set on solid foundation
» general free flow equation is Q = KH

where: Q = flow rate
K = constant
H = head
x = exponent
» For rated flows under free flow conditions, the head is measured at

the length of the converging section from the beginning of the
throat section.
Khafagi Venturi
» for rated flows under free flow conditions, the head is measured 15 cm
( 6" ) upstream from the beginning of the converging section.
