In today's resource conscious world, accurate measurement of water consumption is more important than ever. The Adjust-A-Flume fulfills this vital need. Manufactured of high quality galvanized steel for years of trouble-free service, the Adjust-A-Flume is the solution you have been looking for.
Adjust-A-Flume measuring flumes are constructed from high quality galvanized steel and are available in three standard sizes to meet most applications.
Adjust-A-Flume measuring flumes are sent unassembled for easy and economical shipping and handling. The flumes are easy to assemble in the field, and all bolts, nuts, and assembly instructions, are included.
Unlike other measuring flumes currently on the market, the Adjust-A-Flume has a large, highly visible gauge mounted on both sides. It can be read easily from a distance of over 25 feet, facilitating roadside measurements.
Durability
The Adjust-A-Flume is designed with extremely rigid "flanged" construction. The unit also utilizes heavy cross bracing. The design allows the installation of the Adjust-A-Flume in locations with heavy soil backfill or in concrete channels.
Installation
Installation of the Adjust-A-Flume is quick and straight forward. Just assure that the flume is level both end to end, and side to side, and that the top of the fixed frame is 2 to 5 inches above the high water mark in the canal. Adjust the height of the sill, and the flume is ready for service. Unlike some other flume designs, the Adjust-A-Flume does not require sight surveying, or complicated excavation for proper and accurate installation.
Features
- Direct-reading flow-rate gauges on the flume side walls, eliminating the need to carry a book of flow tables
- The ability to install the flume in canals without causing significant ponding
- Wide flow rate range
- Tolerance to various canal depths provided by the adjustable throat section. The system allows installation into flowing water without significantly disturbing the flow. This greatly reduces the visible ponding upstream of the measuring device, making them more acceptable to water users.
Extensive testing and evaluation
under field and laboratory conditions have shown the Adjust-A-Flume to
consistently achieve accuracy to within 3%, when properly installed.
The increased flow velocity in the throat section discourages sediment
accumulation in this important part of the flume. The approach section
near the gauge, while somewhat less self-cleaning, is tolerant of considerable
sediment accumulation before significantly altering the flume function.
This produces long periods of time between required cleaning and maintenance.
