7.11.4.6 Khafagi Venturi
* The transducer must be above the maximum head by at least the blanking value (see Near
Range (2.2.4.) (Page 172)).
Application Information
● Similar to Parshall flume except that the floor is flat bottomed and the sidewalls are
curved.
● For rated flows under free flow conditions, the head is measured 1 x (channel width)
upstream from the beginning of the converging section.
