THE FLOW METERS
The dry and the wet weather pipes
are equipped with high quality electromagnetic flow meters of the
Parti-Mag II type manufactured 1996 by Bailey-Fischer and Porter in
Göttingen, Germany. This flow meter supplier has specified a simple set
of installation requirements demanding a straight pipe section without any
hydraulic disturbances within a distance to a flow meter of 15 times the
diameter - distributed with 10 and 5 times the diameter in upstream and
downstream directions, respectively. For this reason the wet weather flow
meter has been placed in its own structure, while the small meter is
placed in the main station itself -see photos below:
The
small meter
This flow meter is used to
register dry weather flow as well as the start and the end of a
rainfall runoff event. According to technical specifications this
meter is able to produce high quality flow measurements in the
interval 1-700 l/s with a maximum flow rate error of 1-1.5% of
rating.

The
wet weather flow meter
is used to register the main
part of a rainfall runoff event, i.e. flow measurements in the
interval 50-8000 l/s with the same flow rate error as mentioned
above.
