What does Constant mean?

The Constant (k) for Rectangular Shaped Aperture weir can be represented as a product of coefficient of discharge and the height of the aperture.

What is a rectangular weir?

A sharp crested, rectangular weir is simply a flat plate obstruction in an open channel flow path, with a straight, level opening to allow water flow over the weir, as shown in the pictures and diagrams in the rest of this article. It is used to meter flow of water over the weir (and through the open channel) by measuring the head of water over the weir crest.
Uses:
* Able to measure higher flows than v-notch weirs.
* Discharge equation more complex than most other weir types.
* Widely used to measure high flow rates in channels suited to weirs.
