ABSOLUTE CALCULATION, P4 = 0
For flows that can be calculated by the equation:
q = Ce x 8/15 x tan(
where :
q = flow rate
g = gravitational acceleration
α
= notch angle alpha
◊
angle is restricted to 90°, 53.133° or 28.066°. Otherwise use ratiometric calculation.
RATIOMETRIC CALCULATION, P4 = 1
For flows that can be calculated by the equation:
q = q
x Ce/Ce
x (h/h
cal
cal
where :
q = flow rate
q
= flow rate at maximum head
cal
h = head
h
= maximum head
cal
Ce = discharge coefficient for head
Ce
= discharge coefficient for maximum head
