The application of open channel flowmeter
The open channel flowmeter supports the flow calculation of three types of open channel water measuring weir troughs:
right-angled triangular weir, rectangular thin-walled weir and Parshall trough. The flow can be accumulated according to
the set conditions, for example, set the accumulated low water level=0.05, and the accumulated high water level=1,
which means that the flow accumulation is performed when the water level is greater than 0.5 and less than 1. When the
standard Parshall groove is selected, the effective head range of the corresponding groove type will be automatically
loaded. The flow calculation of this machine refers to the relevant standards of "JJG (Water Conservancy) 004-2015
Open Channel Weir Trough Flowmeter".
When choosing the type of weir and trough for measuring water, it is necessary to consider the size of the flow in the
channel, the flow pattern of the water in the channel, and whether it can form a free flow. When the flow is less than
40L/S, a right-angle triangular weir should generally be selected. If it is greater than 40L/S, the Parshall tank should
generally be used. If the flow is greater than 40L/S, and the water level drop in the channel is large, rectangular weirs can
be selected.
Conditions permit, it is best to choose Parshall slot. The water level-flow relationship of the Parshall trough is calibrated
by experiments, and the requirements for the upstream channel entering the trough are relatively weak. The water
level-flow relationship of the triangular weir and the rectangular weir is derived from theoretical calculations, and it is
easy to cause additional errors due to ignoring some use conditions.
The water measuring weir can be made of FRP. The mouth ofthe triangular weir and the rectangular weir is the key size,
and the processing must be accurate. The surface facing the water inlet should be smooth. The inner dimensions of the
Parshall groove should be accurate, and the inner surface should be smooth. The throat part is the critical dimension, so it
should be more accurate.
