Read MoreExcessive Approach Velocity in Parshall Flume Flow Measurement Applications
Since the 1930s, wastewater professionals have relied on the Parshall flume as the primary device for open channel flow measurement applications. Parshall flumes provide a very repeatable relationship between water level (Ha) and flow rate; but, only so long as the approaching flow conditions are appropriate. For any flume design, the hydraulics must cause a…
Read MoreEngineered Composite Stop Logs
Stop logs are in commonly used in water and wastewater treatment plants, lagoon control, flood control, and flow diversion. Historically, most stop logs are constructed of wood or metal. However, vacuum infused Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) design is proving to be a much better solution for stop log design. Wood swells as it takes on…
Read MoreA Solution for Excessive Approach Velocity in Flumes – The Energy Absorbing Manhole
Excessive approach velocity caused by pump flow or steep pipe slopes can be an issue in some flume applications. One of the tools we have to solve this problem is the Plasti-Fab Energy Absorbing Manhole Brochure. The manhole features an energy absorbing plate that is slightly larger than the incoming line. The water hits this…
