Reference

ABSOLUTE CALCULATION, P4 = 0¤

 

For flows that can be calculated by the equation:

 

q = Ce x 23 ⎯⎯√2g x be x (he)1.5

 

where : q = flow rate

Ce = a function of h, p, b and B

g = gravitational acceleration

be = effective crest width (b + Kb)

b = crest width

he = effective head (h + Kh)

h = head

Kh = 1 mm

RATIOMETRIC CALCULATION, P4 = 1¤

 

For flows that can be calculated by the equation:

 

q = qcal x Ce/Cecal x (h/hcal)1.5

 

where : q = flow rate

qcal = flow rate at maximum head h = head

hcal = maximum head

Ce = discharge coefficient for head

Cvcal = discharge coefficient for maximum head
