General Operation
H-Flume
• 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. Refer to the following table.
