Abstract
Equipment has been developed for the measurement of flow through crest gates on movable crest dams. Because of divergency of flow upstream of gate openings, conventional flow measuring devices are not applicable. This system suspends a strain gage and sensor in the flow and measures the resultant forces on the sensor.
