A flume containing a constriction which causes the flow to change from sub-critical to super-critical, and in which the measurement of one water level, the upstream one, allows a calculation of the discharge. 1, record 1, English, - standing%2Dwave%20flume
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The essential difference between Venturi flume and standing wave flume is that observation of both upstream and downstream water levels are necessary with the former, whereas with the latter, the upstream water level observation is by itself enough to determine the discharge. 2, record 1, English, - standing%2Dwave%20flume

A calibrated device developed by Parshall for measuring the flow of liquid in an open conduit. It consists essentially of a contracting length, a throat, and an expanding length. At the throat is a sill over which the flow passes at Belanger's critical depth. The upper and lower heads are each measured at a definite distance from the sill. 4, record 3, English, - Parshall%20flume
