Example 3 BS3680 Rectangular Weir  
 
 
 
In  this  example,  it  is  required  to  calculate  to  the  flow through  a  BS3680 
Rectangular  weir.  Absolute  calculation  will  be  used,  and  there  is  a 
requirement for an alarm to indicate a high flow condition to be set to relay 
3. The flow rate is required to be displayed in litres/minute and the totaliser 
is  to  record  the  flow  in  cubic  metres,  the  resettable  totaliser  is  to  be 
displayed during RUN.  
The distance from the end of the transducer horn to zero flow (P105) is 1 
metre and max head (P704) is 0.4 metres, maximum flow (P705).  
Approach width (Dim “A”) P710 = 0.5 m                         
Crest width (Dim “B”) P711   = 0.3 m                              
Crest Height (Dim “C”) P712      = 0.3 m
