Rectangular Flume Calculations
Absolute
If the flow calculation is to be absolute P702 = 1 the flow will be calculated
using the formula: q = (2/3)

Where:
q = flowrate
gn = gravitational acceleration (nominal value = 980.66 cm/s

)
C
s
= shape coefficient (value = 1)
C
v
= velocity coefficient calculated by Ultra 4 (P721)
C
d
= discharge coefficient calculated by Ultra 4 (P722)
b = throat width P711
h = head
Ratiometric
If the flow calculation is to be ratiometric P702 = 2 the flow will be
calculated using the formula: q= q
