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

)
C
s
= shape coefficient (value = 1)
C
v
= velocity coefficient calculated by the Flow 5 P721

d
= discharge coefficient calculated by the Flow 5 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
