    The document provides equations to calculate flow rates, fluid velocities, and hydraulic horsepower from known parameters like pipe diameter and flow volume, and includes conversion tables for common units of volume, pressure, and head to assist with selecting an appropriately scaled flow meter. Flow monitors will provide the most accurate readings when the nominal flow rate falls within the center third of the meter's full scale measuring range.

    Flow Monitoring Equations And Conversions

    Most systems are engineered to operate at fluid velocities lower than 15 feet/second or 4.5
    meters/second. This fact, along with the following set of equations, can assist with the correct
    selection of a flow monitor's measuring range. Also, keep in mind that the most accurate part of a
    Lake flow meter's measuring range is within the center third of the full range. (i.e. If the nominal
    flow rate in a system is 10 GPM, do not purchase a flow monitor that has a full-scale flow rate of
    10 GPM – order the next higher full scale range.)
