SALHER - Model MC-CP, MC-CP-C, MC-VT and MC-CU -Flowmeters
Among the flowmeters prefabricated by Salher, we find the Parshall Flume, the triangular flowmeter V-notch MC-VT and the ultrasound meter for open channels MC-CU.
The prefabricated Salher flumes ensure a precise relation between the level and the flow through the Parshall. The models proposed by Salher are the Parshall flume MC-CP, which consists of a GFRP throat to be placed in a civil works channel or the Parshall flume MC-CP-C, which consists of a flume built entirely in GFRP that includes a measuring throat and proportional part of inlet and outlet canal, ready to be connected hydraulically with no need of civil works.
The triangular flowmeter V-notch MC-VT is a flow measurement system with possibility of taking samples, in polypropylene (PP) and calibrated according to ISO 1438/1, with different flow ranges. Its main advantages are a low coefficient of friction, a minimal water absorption and a high chemical resistance. This flowmeter includes a weir manhole made up of a vertical cylindrical box, open on the top, in GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polyester) and housed in a partition with a box built in the same material.
