Example 1 ‘V’ Notch   Weir 
 
 
 
In  this  example  it  is  required  to  calculate  the  flow  through  a  Simple 
Exponential Device, which on this occasion is a V-Notch Weir. The K factor 
for the weir is unknown so ratiometric calculation will be used, there is no 
requirement for alarms and the flow rate is to be displayed in Mil USG/day. 
The totaliser is to record the flow in 1000’s USG but is not to be displayed 
during RUN. The transducer to be used is a dB3. 
The  distance  from  the  face  of  the  transducer  to  zero  flow  (P105)  is  40 
inches and max head (P704) is 15 inches, maximum flow (P705) is known 
to be 2.2 million US gallons/day.
