● Sized by maximum depth of flume
● Approach is preferably rectangular, matching width and depth for distance, 3 to 5 times
the depth of the flume.
● May be installed in channels under partial submergence (ratio of downstream level to
head). Typical errors are:
– 1% @ 30% submergence
– 3% @ 50% submergence
● For rated flows under free flow conditions, the head is measured at a point downstream
from the flume entrance.
