V-notch angle weirs, the head is measured upstream of the weir plate at a<br />

minimum distance of 3 times maximum head to ensure the surface of the<br />

liquid is not effected by turbulence or drawdown. See Exponential devices,<br />

above, for further details.<br />

Calculations<br />

Palmer Bowlus Flume and H-Flume<br />

ABSOLUTE<br />

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

using the formula: q = f(h)<br />

Where: q = flowrate<br />

f = is an 8 th degree polynomial solution for h (head)<br />

RATIOMETRIC<br />

If the flow calculation is to be ratiometric P702 = 2 the flow will be<br />

calculated using the formula: q= q cal f(h)/f(h cal )<br />

Where: q = flowrate<br />

q cal = flowrate at maximum head P705<br />

f(h) = a polynomial solution for h (head)<br />

f(h cal ) = a polynomial solution for h cal (maximum head)<br />

V-Notch Angle Weir (Non BS 3680)<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 8/15 tan (theta/2)(2gn) 0.5 (h = kh) 2.5<br />

Where: q = flowrate<br />

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

theta = V-notch angle<br />

gn = gravitational acceleration<br />

h = head<br />

kh = compensated head<br />
