Grate Inlet Skimmer Box
DRAWINGS AND SIZES |
|
The maximum flow rate of Grate Inlet Skimmer Box is determined by the amount of flow that can pass through the throat, the exception is found only in very large units.
To determine the minimum flow rate of a Grate Inlet Skimmer Box consider only the potential flow through the throat and bypass. |

FLOW RATES
If the potential flow through the throat is less than the potential flow through the bypass, then the throat determines the minimum flow. If the potential water flow through the bypass is less than that of the throat, then the bypass determines the minimum flow. Filtered Flow represents the potential flow rate through all screens, and does not include the potential flow through the bypass. Water flow through the bypass happens only when the flow rate through the grate exceeds the flow rate through all the screens.
Use this information as a reference to approximate size and capacity. Because each Grate Inlet Skimmer Box is custom designed and fabricated to meet site specific needs, the final project drawing will likely differ from those included within this web page. The Measurement Form offers additional information regarding these steps. |
