RBC flumes are used to measure the quantity of water that flows through a certain place, such as an irrigation channel. The RBC flume has been specially designed for use in smaller water ways or earthen channels (irrigation channels, in- outlets, furrow, ditches). Royal Eijkelkamp offers a trapezium shaped RBC flume for four flow rate ranges. Compared to other well-known flumes, such as the WSC and the Parshall flume, the RBC flume is the most accurate.
Trapezium shaped flumes have two important advantages:
- Accurate for a wide range of flow rates
- Fits better in canals which often are trapezium shaped by design (more reliable flow pattern upstream of the flume and inside the flume)
Thanks to its small weight and dimensions, the flumes can be easily used and transported. This is particularly advantageous in the event of multiple temporary measurements.
