Rectangular Broad Crested Weir Calculations
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
Ce = discharge coefficient calculated by Ultra 4 P723
b = approach width P710
g = gravitational acceleration (nominal value = 980.66 cm/s

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