BS3680 Weirs (P700 = 3)<br />

Point of Measurement<br />

The transducer must be above the maximum head P704 by at least the near<br />

blanking distance P107.<br />

For a Rectangular and V-notch weirs, the head is measured at a point 4 to<br />

5 times the maximum head upstream from the weir plate, to ensure the<br />

surface of the liquid is not affected by turbulence or drawdown.<br />

(See DRWG 8)<br />

Calculations<br />

BS 3680 Rectangular Weir<br />

ABSOLUTE<br />

If the flow calculation is to be absolute P702 = 1 the flow will be calculated<br />

using the formula: q = C e 2/3(2gn) 0.5 b e h e<br />

1.5<br />

Where: q = flowrate<br />

Ce = discharge coefficient calculated by <strong>FlowCERT</strong> P723<br />

gn = gravitational acceleration (nominal value = 980.66 cm/s 2 )<br />

be =effective approach width where b is approach width<br />

(Dim“A”) P710<br />

he = effective head<br />
