To set up a weir as the method of flow conversion:<br />
1. Select the Type and Size or Crest length from the pulldown<br />
lists.<br />
2. Apply the settings.<br />
Maximum level is a required entry when flow rates or areas are<br />
calculated in the instrument and held as a table.<br />
Refer to the <strong>Isco</strong> Open Channel Flow Measurement Handbook for<br />
more information.<br />
A weir is essentially a dam built across an open channel over<br />
which the liquid flows, usually through some type of an opening<br />
or notch. Weirs are normally classified by the shape. Each type of<br />
weir has an associated equation for determining the flow rate<br />
over the weir.<br />
To set up a flume as the method of flow conversion:<br />
1. Select the Type from the pull-down list.<br />
2. Select the Size from the pull-down list.<br />
3. Apply the settings.<br />
Maximum level is a required entry when flow rates or areas are<br />
calculated in the instrument and held as a table.<br />
Refer to the <strong>Isco</strong> Open Channel Flow Measurement Handbook for<br />
more information.<br />
A flume is a specially shaped open channel flow section with an<br />
area and/or slope that is different from that of the channel. This<br />
results in an increased velocity and change in the level of the<br />
liquid flowing through the flume. A flume normally consists of a<br />
converging section, a throat section, and a diverging section. The<br />
flow rate through the flume is a function of the liquid level at<br />
some point or points in the flume.<br />
To set up a Flow Metering Insert:<br />
1. Select the type from the pull-down list.<br />
2. Select the size from the pull-down list.<br />
3. Apply the settings.<br />

To set up a Manning formula as the method of flow conversion:<br />
1. Select the Channel type from the pull-down list.<br />
2. Enter the Slope, Roughness, and Channel dimensions.<br />
3. Apply the settings.<br />
Maximum level is a required entry when flow rates or areas are<br />
calculated in the instrument and held as a table.<br />
