FLUMES (cont’d)
Leopold Lagco (as manufactured by Leopold Co., Inc.)
» designed to be installed directly into pipelines and manholes
» Leopold Lagco may be classed as a rectangle Palmer-Bowlus flume
» sized by pipe ( sewer ) diameter
» for rated flows under free flow conditions, the head is measured at a
point upstream referenced to the beginning of the converging section.
Refer to the following table:
» general free flow equation is Q = K H
x
, where: Q = flow rate
K = constant
H = head
x = exponent
» position the transducer such that it is centered over the flow at a
minimum height of 30 cm ( 12" ) above the maximum head.
