Palmer Bowlus Flume Description
|
The Palmer Bowlus metering flume has been widely used since 1937 for measuring water and wastewater in open channels or pipelines
that are not under pressure. Some of the Palmer Bowlus' most important characteristics include measurement accuracy, low head
loss, minimum flow restriction and ease of installation in pipelines. The Palmer Bowlus flumes are normally installed in a "U"
shaped channel fed by a pipeline such as storm drains and sewers. This convenient flume requires little redesign or special
modification of circular conduits for installation. The Palmer Bowlus flumes in channel liner are provided in a one piece 4 x
D (diameter) configuration in sizes up to 15 inches in diameter. For more information on monitoring Palmer Bowlus flumes see
the FC220, Open Channel Flow Monitor. For information on how to install a Palmer
Bowlus Flume click HERE.
Palmer Bowlus Flume Accuracy:
The accuracy of the Palmer Bowlus flumes is comparable to that of Parshall or other types of Venturi flumes. Research indicates
that within the normal range of flows (from under 10% to 90% of flume capacity), measured flow rate is usually within + 3% of
theoretical flow rate.
