Ratiometric
If the flow calculation is to be ratiometric P702 = 2 the flow will be
calculated using the formula: q= q

)
1.5
Where:
q = flowrate
q
cal
= flowrate at maximum head P705
Ce = discharge coefficient calculated by Ultra 3 (P723)
Ce
cal
= discharge coefficient at maximum head
he = effective head

= effective head at maximum head
V-Notch Weir Calculations
Absolute
If the flow calculation is to be absolute P702 = 1 the flow will be calculated
using the formula: q = C
e
8/15tan(theta/2) (2gn)
0.5
h
2.5
Where:
q = flowrate
Ce = discharge coefficient calculated by the Ultra 3 (P723)
theta = V-notch angle
gn = gravitational acceleration (nominal value = 980.66 cm/s

)
h = head
The Ultra 3 pre-sets the angle (theta) on selection of the chosen device this
angle is 90° for a BS 3680 full 90°V notch weir, 53° 8 minutes in the case of
the BS3680 half 90°V notch weir and 28° 4 minutes in the case of the
BS3680 quarter 90°V notch.
