The cutthroat flume's greatest advantage is in its use where head loss is limited.

Flumes are fixed geometry hydraulic structures (primary devices) that increase the velocity of an incoming liquid in such a way that a known flow to level relationship is generated.
Flumes are only for use where open channel flow conditions (those flows in which the liquid flows with a free surface) exist at all times and where the flow entering the flume is sub-critical.
