BS3680 Rectangular Broad Crested Weir<br />

Point of Measurement<br />

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

blanking distance P107.<br />

The head is measured at a point 3 to 4 times the maximum head upstream<br />

from the weir crest, to ensure the surface of the liquid is not affected by<br />

turbulence or drawdown.<br />

Calculations<br />

ABSOLUTE<br />

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

using the formula: q = (2/3) 1.5 C e b(gh 3 ) 0.5<br />

Where: q = flowrate<br />

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

b = approach width P710<br />

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

h = head<br />
