Discharge Tables

The discharge tables here are for thin-plate Weirs in general.  

Before relying on the full flow rates indicated on the tables below, compare the depths indicated in the tables versus your application.  The tables below have been calculated to their maximum rating and your installation may not have as much flow depth available as is shown in the tables.
