A Study of the Flow of Water Over Triangular Weirs and the Determination of Coefficients of Discharge for Small Heads

The development of artesian and pumped wells as a source of irrigation water has created the need for a measuring device which will be accurate for small discharges.

Three types of weirs are now commonly used: the Rectangular, the Cipolleti, and the Triangular Notch weir.

Three types of weirs are now commonly used: the Rectangular, the Cipolleti, and the Triangular Notch weir. Of these types the triangular notch is probably the best suited for small discharges (under 3 second feet). The various formulae for discharge over 90% Triangular weirs have been accurately determined for heads over two tenths of a foot.
