Historical Standard: ASTM D5614-94(1998) Standard Test Method for Open Channel Flow Measurement of Water with Broad-Crested Weirs
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D5614
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers measurement of the volumetric flow rate of water in open channels with two types of horizontal broad-crested weirs: those having a square (sharp) upstream corner and those having a well-rounded upstream corner.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
