ABSOLUTE CALCULATION, P4 = 0
For flows that can be calculated by the equation:
q = 1/1000 x (b + mh) x v
m = (B - b)/d
where : q = flow rate, l/sec
B = channel top width, cm
b = channel bottom width, cm
d = depth of channel, cm
h = head, cm
v = flow velocity, cm/sec
RATIOMETRIC CALCULATION, P4 = 1
For flows that can be calculated by the equation:
q = q x A/A x v/v
cal cal
A = (b + mh) x h
A = (b + mh ) x h
cal cal
m = (B - b)/d
where : q = flow rate, l/sec
B = channel top width, cm
b = channel bottom width, cm
d = depth of channel, cm
h = head, cm
v = flow velocity, cm/sec
