Non-Standard Structure Flow Measurement Evaluation Using The Flow Rate Indexing Procedure – Qip, Stuart Styles Apr 2005

Non-Standard Structure Flow Measurement Evaluation Using The Flow Rate Indexing Procedure – Qip, Stuart Styles

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

This paper summarizes the results of a performance evaluation using advanced hydroacoustic rating techniques in irrigation canal systems. Standardized field-tested procedures and technical specifications for index velocity ratings have been developed for rating measurement locations using hydroacoustic flow meters. Water managers and users of advanced electronic flow measuring devices can improve the cost effectiveness, accuracy, and quality control of discharge records, even at sites with complex flow conditions, by observing these recommended guidelines.
