Virtual Polymer Compounds offers a full line of standard flumes, such as Parshall Flumes, Palmer Bowlus Flumes, H Flumes, Trapezoidal Flumes, along with countless custom structures used for open channel flow measurement. Sizes are available to measure everything from an intermittent trickle to a consistent canal. Cutthroat & Montana Flumes are available by request.
Originally developed to measure agricultural water runoff, H flumes have a "V" shaped design that allows for measurement of a wide flow range. Additionally, H flumes are used to measure irrigation water, snow melt, holding pond overflow, industrial process discharge, as well as sanitary and storm sewer discharge.
Model HS flumes are designed for the measurement of very small flows with a high degree of accuracy. Model HL flumes are designed to handle very large flows.
Rather than try to make the flow application fit a particular type of flume, we carefully analyze the parameters so we can select an appropriate flume for the application. Options and modifications are available to ensure that the customer's requirements are fully met, and that additional instruments are easily interfaced with the flumes.
