6-inch Parshall Flume
Description:
The 6-inch Parshall flume is useful in measuring small water rights. Smaller surface water, irrigation, and edge-of-field flows are also good uses for the flume.
Galvanized Parshall flumes should never be used on sanitary flows.
Material of Construction:
- Galvanized steel
Flow Rates:
- 0.0542 - 0.4572 cfs (cubic feet / second)
- 23.32 - 1,754 gpm (US gallons / minute)
- 0.0350 - 3.909 mgd (US million gallons / day)
Flow Accuracy:
- +/- 2-5% (ASTM D1941)
Flow Formula (H = feet):
- Q (cfs) = 2.06 * H^1.58
- Q (gpm) = 924.5 * H^1.58
- Q (mgd) = 1,331 * H^1.58
