  • Details

    HYDROLOGIC Efflumetres are "contraction devices" designed for use on the bottom or sides of a channel which convert streaming flow at the control section into shooting flow with the result that the water level upstream of the restriction section is a known increased function of the discharge.
    Discharge can be determined by either of the following methods :
    -by a direct level-scale reading and application of a head/discharge calibration curve
    -by use of separate instrumention, usually operating with a bubbler system.
    Accuracy of our instruments is :
    -3% for discharges from 5 to 15%
    -1.5% for discharges from 15 to 100%
