Summary of Test Method4.1 Parshall flumes are measuring flumes of specified ge-

16、ometries for which empirical relations of the formQ 5 CHan(1)have been established so that the flowrate, Q, can bedetermined from a single depth measurement, Ha, in free flow.If the flow is submerged, an addition downstream depth, Hb,must be measured and suitable adjustments made.5. Significance and

17、 Use5.1 Flume designs are available for throat sizes of 1 in. (2.54cm) to 50 ft (15.2 m) which cover maximum flows of 0.2 to3000 ft3/s (0.0057 to 85 m3/s) (1) and (2)4. They can thereforebe applied to a wide range of flows, with head losses that aremoderate.5.2 The flume is self-cleansing for modera

18、te solids transportand therefore is suited for wastewater and flows with sediment.6. Interferences6.1 The flume is applicable only to open channel flow and isinoperative under full-pipe flow conditions.6.2 Although the flume has substantial self-cleansing capac-ity, it can be clogged by debris or af

19、fected by accumulation ofaquatic growth and cleaning or debris removal may be re-quired.7. Apparatus7.1 AParshall flume measuring system consists of the flumeitself (primary) and a depth-measuring device (secondary). Thesecondary device can range from a simple scale for manualreadings to an instrume

20、nt which continuously senses the depth,converts it to flowrate, and provides a readout or record ofinstantaneous flowrate or totalized flow, or both.7.2 The Flume:7.2.1 Parshall flumes are characterized by throat width;dimensions and flowrates for each size are given in Fig. 1 andTable 1, respective

21、ly. The dimensions must be maintainedwithin 2 %, because the flume is an empirical device andcorrections for non-standard geometry are only estimates. Theinside surface of the flume should be at least as smooth as agood quality concrete finish.7.2.2 The measurement location for depth Hais shown inFi

22、g. 1. In submerged flow a second depth, Hb, must bemeasured in the throat as indicated. However, in the 1, 2, and3-in. (2.54, 5.08, and 7.62-cm) flumes, this measurement ismade at Hcinstead, because disturbances have been observedat the Hblocation in these sizes (1) and (2). See Fig. 2 for therelati

23、on between Hband Hc.7.3 Stilling Well and Connector:7.3.1 Stilling wells are recommended for accurate depthmeasurements; they are required when wire- or tape-supportedcylindrical floats are used or when the liquid surface isfluctuating.7.3.2 The lateral area of the stilling well is governed in partb

24、y the requirements of the depth sensor. For example, theclearance between a float and the stilling-well wall should be atleast 0.1 ft (3 cm) and should be increased to 0.25 ft (7.6 cm)if the well is made of concrete or other rough material, the floatdiameter itself being determined in part by permis

25、sible float lagerror (see 11.4.2). Other types of depth sensors may alsoimpose size requirements on the stilling well, and the maxi-mum size may be limited by response lag.7.3.3 Provision should be made for cleaning and flushingthe stilling well to remove accumulated solids. It may benecessary to ad

26、d a small purge flow of tap water to help keepthe well and any connector pipe and the sensor parts clean. Thisflow should be small enough for any depth increase in thestilling well to be imperceptible.7.3.4 The opening in the flume sidewall connecting to thestilling well either directly or through a

27、 short perpendicularpipe must have a burr-free junction with the wall. The hole orpipe must be small enough to dampen surface disturbances; anarea of about 1/1000th of the stilling-well area is consideredadequate for this purpose. However, the diameter should not beso small (or the pipe so long) tha

28、t it is difficult to keep open ora lag is introduced in the response to changing flows (3); holeand pipe diameters of about12 in. (1.3 cm) should beconsidered a minimum. If changes are made in pipe sizes, theyshould be done sufficiently removed from the flume wall thatno drawdown will occur. The int

29、ake dimensions cited in thisparagraph should be regarded as suggestions only.7.4 Depth-Discharge Relations:4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis test method.FIG. 1 Parshall FlumeD 1941 91 (2007)27.4.1 Free FlowThe values of C and n for use with Eq 1are

45、s (2).7.4.2.2 For all larger flumes, that is, 1 to 50 ft (30.48 to 1524cm) throat widths, flowrates under submerged-flow conditionsare given as corrections to be subtracted from the free-flowdischarge at the same Ha. These corrections are found in Table13, Table 14, Table 15, and Table 16 (Table 17,

46、 Table 14, Table18, and Table 16), which were compiled from published curves(2).7.4.2.3 It is recommended that submergence be avoided ifpossible and that ratios not be allowed to exceed 0.95.7.5 Installation Requirements:7.5.1 It is highly desirable that the Parshall flume installa-tion be designed

47、for free flow. The depth-discharge relationsfor free flow are more accurate than those for submerged flow,particularly at high submergence ratios. Further, the secondaryinstrumentation for free flow is simpler and more readilyavailable. Design for free flow requires an estimate of thenormal depth of

48、 flow in the channel downstream of the flumeand the assumption that the resulting surface elevation prevailsapproximately at the Hblocation. Design examples are avail-able in the References.7.5.2 The flow entering the flume should be tranquil anduniformly distributed across the channel. For this pur

49、pose,uniform velocity distribution can be defined as that associatedwith fully developed flow in a long, straight, moderatelysmooth channel. As a general guideline, a straight upstreamapproach length of 10 to 20 times the throat width will meetthis entrance condition. The adequacy of the approach flowmust be demonstrated on a case-by-case basis using current-meter traverses, experience with similar situations, or analyti-cal approximations.7.5.3 If the approach flow is supercritical, the installationshould be designed so that a hydraulic jump is formed at
