4.3 Measurement setup - Flow
Flume
Predefined curves:
A flow measurement with these standard curves is very easy to set up, as no
dimensional information of the flume is required.
•
•
•
Channel with dimensions according to ISO standard:
When selecting these curves, the dimensions of the flume must be known and
entered via the assistant. As a result, the accuracy of the flow measurement is higher
than with the specified curves.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Flow formula:
If the flow formula of your flume is known, you should select this option, as the
accuracy of the flow measurement is highest here.
•
Manufacturer definition:
If you use a Parshall flume from the manufacturer ISCO, this option must be selected.
This gives you a high accuracy of flow measurement with easy configuration.
Alternatively, you can also take over Q/h table values provided by the manufacturer
here.

Note
Detailed project planning data can be found at the channel manufacturers and in the
technical literature.
The following examples serve as an overview for flow measurement.
