All trapezoidal flumes exhibit similar flow characteristics, and have application advantages over other flumes and weirs. VPC offers a full line of standard flumes, along with countless custom structures used for open channel flow measurement. Sizes are available to measure everything from an intermittent trickle to a consistent canal.

Rather than try to make the flow application fit a particular type of flume, we carefully analyze the parameters so we can select an appropriate flume for the application. Options and modifications are available to ensure that the customer's requirements are fully met, and that additional instruments are easily interfaced with the flumes.

CHARACTERISTICS:

• Flat bottom from entrance to exit for better head conversion.
  
• Do not require a free-fall discharge to operate correctly.
  
• staff gauge and instrument mounting brackets located within flume and factory installed.
  
• Natural shape of flume mimics many earthen and concrete-lined ditches.
  
• Flat floor and sloping wall allows solids to pass through throat without being trapped.
  

Trapezoidal flumes are in stock and available for immediate shipment.
