TRACOM Flume Application Form

Flumes are fixed geometry hydraulic structures (primary devices) that increase the velocity of an incoming liquid in such a way that a known flow to level relationship is generated. Flumes are only for use where open channel flow conditions (those flows in which the liquid flows with a free surface) exist at all times and where the flow entering the flume is sub-critical.

Fill out the following form as completely as possible and click the "submit" button. Your inquiry will be analyzed by an experienced application specialist who will promptly provide you with a flume quotation.
