About this title

Synopsis

Accurate runoff measurement starts with precise design and sturdy construction.

This reference compiles practical specifications for multislot divisors and the Type H rate-measuring flume, guiding engineers and technicians in building reliable flow measurement devices. From material choices to tight tolerances, the book emphasizes adherence to drawings and shop-ready techniques to ensure consistent results in soil conservation research and field work.

Inside, you’ll find detailed guidance on:

Required materials and fabrication standards for slot plates, precision strips, spouts, hoods, and divisor boxes.
Precise dimensions, slot sizing, alignment, and edge straightness to achieve watertight joints and accurate readings.
Step-by-step construction notes, from riveting and soldering to testing for distortion and tool marks.
Inspection, shipment, and acceptance procedures to verify conformance with plans and specifications.

What you’ll experience includes clear drawings references, material tolerances, and practical tips for maintaining accuracy in varied conditions. The guidance covers both multislot divisors and single-slot configurations, with emphasis on reproducibility and quality workmanship.

Ideal for readers involved in field measurements, laboratory modeling, or coursework in water resources and soil conservation technology.
