ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the unit operations of flow measurements and flow and quality equalizations. Flow meters discussed include rectangular weirs, triangular weirs, trapezoidal weirs, venturi meters, and one of the critical-flow flumes, the Parshall flume. Miscellaneous flow meters including the magnetic flow meter, turbine flow meter, nutating disk meter, and the rotameter are also discussed. These meters are classified as miscellaneous, because they will not be treated analytically but simply described. In addition, liquid level recorders are also briefly discussed.
