Flow Application - Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI Operating Instructions Manual

Flow application

Parshall Flume
In this example, a 12-inch (0.305 m) Parshall Flume has been installed in an open channel.
As per the supplier's data sheet, the device has been rated for a maximum flow of
3
1143 m per hour at a maximum head of 0.6 m.
The Parshall Flume is considered an exponential device, therefore the supplier's data
sheet includes a flow exponent value of 1.522.
The HydroRanger 200 HMI, and the XRS-5 transducer have been installed 1.6 m above the
channel beside the TS-3 external temperature sensor.
During intermittent peak flow times, the head level can be expected to rise at a rate of
approximately 0.12 m/min. The application also calls for a flow sampler to be activated
3
every 1000 m , or 24 hours (whichever comes first), and for a fail-safe alarm to activate in
the event of a loss of echo or cable fault.
