General Operation
Open Channel Monitoring (OCM)
An OCM installation is defined one of three ways, based on the Primary Measuring
Device (PMD):
1. Dimensional
For some common weir and flume types. PMD dimensions (
2.15.4. PMD Dimensions
) are
entered directly.
2. Exponential
For most other weir and flume types. PMD exponents provided by the manufacturer are
entered. Flow is calculated using the exponent (
2.15.3.2. Flow Exponent
) and the
maximum values (
2.15.3.3. Maximum Head
and
2.15.3.4. Maximum Flow at 20 mA
).
3. Universal
For all other PMDs, the head-to-flow curve can be plotted based on known breakpoints,
usually supplied by the PMD manufacturer.
