set to Universal Curved
This calculation creates a cubic spline approximation of the level/volume curve, providing
best results if the curve is non-linear and there are no sharp angles.
Select at least enough breakpoints from the curve to satisfy the following:
● two breakpoints very near the minimum level
● one breakpoint at the tangent points of each arc
● one breakpoint at each arc apex
● two breakpoints very near the maximum level
For combination curves, enter at least two breakpoints immediately before and after any
sharp angle (as well as one breakpoint exactly at the angle) on the curve.

The device provides numerous OCM flow calculation features:
● Primary measuring device (2.13.2.) (Page 240)
● PMD dimensions (2.13.5.) (Page 246)
● Flow exponent (2.13.4.1) (Page 241)
● Maximum head (2.13.4.2.) (Page 243)
● Maximum flow (2.13.4.3.) (Page 243)
● Flow time units (2.13.4.4.) (Page 244)
● Zero head (2.13.4.5.) (Page 244)
● Flowrate decimal (2.13.4.6.) (Page 245)
● Flowrate units (2.13.4.7.) (Page 245)
● Head 1 (2.13.6.1.1.) (Page 247)
● Flow 1 (2.13.6.1.2.) (Page 248)
If the PMD (primary measuring device) does not match any of the eight preset PMD
calculations, or if a PMD is not used, select a Universal Volume calculation. Use the head/
flow graph or chart provided by the PMD fabricator (or create one based on the PMD or
channel dimensions).
