Broad Crested Weir Calculation

Width of the Weir (b) = m
Head 1 on the Weir (h1) = m
Head 2 on the Weir (h2) = m
Discharge Constant (Cd) =  


Water Flow Rate (q) = m³/s

Just copy and paste the below code to your webpage where you want to display this calculator.



Formula
q = Cd × b × h2 × (2g (h1 - h2) )1/2

Where,
    q = Water Flow Rate
    Cd = Discharge Constant
    b = Width of the Weir
    g = Gravity (9.81 m/s²)
    h1, h2 = Head 1 and Head 2 on the Weir
   

Broad crested weir calculator is suitable for measuring the flow rate of higher downstream water levels. Easy and simple to use.
