Flow Metering Inserts Offer Safety, Economics, Accuracy to Wisconsin Environmental Lab   Water & Wastes Digest August 1998
Badger Laboratories & Engineering Co., Inc., located in Neenah, Wisc., is a full-service environmental lab offering engineering and field services in addition to laboratory analysis. Isco Flow Metering Inserts provide a quick and accurate means of measuring and recording flow in round sewer pipes.
Understanding and Solving Fracture Flow Problems   Water Engineering & Management September 1997   Dr. Thomas Doe
This article compares fracture flow with flow in more conventional porous systems and suggests solutions to fracture flow problems.
Verifying Open Channel Flowmeter Performance   Water & Wastes Digest May 1997   Larry Marsh
Literally billions of dollars in infrastructure decisions are based on the results from I & I studies using velocity area flowmeters. When thoroughly tested, most commercial flowmeters are shown to be inadequate for most wastewater flow measurement needs.
Velocity Flowmeter Aids Sanitary Wastewater Sewer System Evaluation Survey   Water Engineering & Management May 1997
The end of the sewer line for unincorporated Sedgwick County is the Kansas Coliseum. Home to two professional sports teams, the 10,000-seat events arena hosts concerts, exhibitions and livestock shows. A 25,000-seat outdoor amphitheater expansion is now being considered. In addition, a proposal is in effect for a nearby residential development.
Demystifying Doppler Flowmeters in Sewage Flow Measurement   Water Engineering & Management April 1996   Thomas J. Day
Doppler technology has advanced for flow monitoring sites that would have proved difficult to impossible to meausre just a few years ago.
Ultrasonic Technology Simplifies Flow and Level Measurement   Water Engineering & Management December 1994   Edited by Tracy Drake
