Crest Gage 1
Crest Gage 1 :
A gage that measures the peak stage of a rising stream or impoundment. Our crest gages consist of a length of 2" galvanized pipe with a wooden stick inside. The bottom of the pipe is perforated to allow water inside. As water enters and rises, it carries with it powdered cork which adheres to the stick at the highest point. At a later time the cork level on the stick is measured and compared with the fixed datum in order to calculate the peak stage
