Reference

ABSOLUTE CALCULATION, P4 = 0¤

 

For flows that can be calculated by the equation:

 

q = Ce x 8/15 x tan(α/2) x (2g)0.5 x h2.5

 

where : q = flow rate

h = head

g = gravitational acceleration

Ce = function of h and α

α= notch angle alpha

angle is restricted to 90°, 53.133° or 28.066°. Otherwise use ratiometric calculation.

RATIOMETRIC CALCULATION, P4 = 1¤

For flows that can be calculated by the equation:

q = qcal x Ce/Cecal x (h/hcal)2.5

where : q = flow rate

qcal = flow rate at maximum head h = head

hcal = maximum head

Ce = discharge coefficient for head

Cecal = discharge coefficient for maximum head
