General Operation
Palmer Bowlus Flume
Application information
• Sized by pipe diameter D
• Flume relief is trapezoidal
• Designed to install directly into pipelines and manholes
• Head is referenced to bottom of the throat, not bottom of the pipe
• For rated flows under free flow conditions, the head is measured at a distance of
D/2 upstream from the beginning of the converging section
