FRP Cut Throat Flumes
We supply a comprehensive range of Cut Throat Flume. Cut-Throat Flumes (CTF) are preferably recommended for field conditions for theirs simple design compared to other flumes. CTF is made up of two sections one converging & the other diverging. The throat section is avoided as suggested by the name ‘Cut-throat’ which indicates this special feature with a flat bottom surface and vertical walls. Discharge range measurable is from 0.33 cusecs (10 lit/sec) to 80 cusecs (2400 litter/sec.). Most suitable for field conditions because of the flat bottom, which avoids the silt obstruction problem and makes installation easy. Head loss is more and accuracy in results is 92%.
