Description

Design and rate circular weirs. This calculation enables the determination of flow, head, and diameter for circular weirs using the following equation:

 

Q=1.518D0.693H1.807Q = 1.518 D^{0.693} H^{1.807}

Available Calculation Methods:

  • Calculate head (h): Determines the water height over the weir based on the flow rate and diameter.

    • Inputs: Flow (Q), Diameter (D)
    • Outputs: Head (h)

  • Calculate flow (Q): Determines the flow rate for a given diameter and head.

    • Inputs: Diameter (D), Head (h)
    • Outputs: Flow (Q)

  • Calculate diameter (D): Determines the necessary diameter for a given flow rate and head.

    • Inputs: Flow (Q), Head (h)
    • Outputs: Diameter (D)
