Readily available, including installation componentsįiberglass flumes give the flume more structural integrity and easy maintenance characteristics across diverse operating conditions and fluid types.Easy installation with a compact footprint.Few maintenance requirements due to self-cleaning.Less head loss and easier debris passage in the stream of fluid compared to weirs.Versatility, as they come in various sizes and shapes.Control over fluid flow rate with high- and low-rate capabilities.Selecting the right flume for an application’s environment, flow rate, and channel type allow that application to capitalize on the key benefits of using flow measurement flumes. With a variety of standard and custom flume types available, industries can choose the type that best fits their application. The flume can accelerate flow rate through changes in its elevation, the shape of the floor, and the narrowing of system sidewalls, which can transform a subcritical flow of fluid to a critical or even supercritical flow that operators can easily measure. These simple components measure and monitor the flow of fluid in free-flowing conditions. Home > Resources > Fiberglass Flumes for Flow Measurement Fiberglass Flumes for Flow Measurementįlumes are specially designed static structures or fittings that restrict the flow of fluid by narrowing the available passage area within a system.
