HM 163.55 Parshall Flume Show data sheet (pdf file)
Technical Description
The HM 163.55 experimental set-up consists of 2 Plexiglass side pieces that are bonded to a base plate with water-resistant adhesive. The plate is attached to the base of the HM 163 Modular Flow Channel using bolts. The unit has 2 specially shaped protrusions so that the flow is constricted by the set-up on 3 sides. The flow acceleration resulting from the change in cross-section leads to a measurable drop in the water level using which the flow rate can be determined. The measuring device described here is also used in practice for deter-mining flow rate in channels or rivers.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
· Flow rate measurement







For the determination of water levels, the use of the HM 163.54 Level Gauge on the moving HM 163.59 Instrument Carriage is recommended.
