Q-2, r. 9.01 - Design code of a storm water management system eligible for a declaration of compliance

100. The sizing of a flow control device of a non-submerged broad-crested weir type must be established using equation 4-5, in the case of a rectangular weir.
A broad-crested weir is a weir having a thickness allowing the distribution of the pressure to be hydrostatic.
Equation 4-5: Qsp = Csp × (L – 0.1 × i × H) × H3/2
where:
Qsp=Flow discharged by a non-submerged rectangular broad-crested weir (m3/s);
Csp=Flow coefficient for a broad-crested weir determined in accordance with Table 4.1 (m1/2/s);
L=Length of the weir (m);
i=Number of contractions: value = 0, 1 or 2;
H=Height of the runoff curve above the crest (m).
