SIMPLE EXPONENTIAL DEVICES, P3 = 0
‘U’ parameters required *
U0 = exponent
U1 = k factor (P4 = 0 only)
Typical Exponential Devices:
»Sutro (proportional) weir
»head measurement only
»Rectangular (suppressed) or Trapezoidal (Cipolletti) weir
»Kahfagi venturi
»Parshall flume

ABSOLUTE CALCULATION, P4 = 0¤
For flows that can be calculated by the equation:
q = k hx
where | q = flowrate | x = exponent (U0) |
| k = constant factor (U1) | h = head |
RATIOMETRIC CALCULATION, P4 = 1¤
For flows that can be calculated by the equation:
q = qcal (h/hcal)x
where q = flowrate | qcal = flowrate at maximum head |
h = head | hcal = maximum head |
x = exponent (U0) |
|
Refer to manufacturers specifications for the exponent value.
¤Refer to Operation \ Flow Calculation.
