Title
Standard Test Method for Open-Channel Flow Measurement of Water Indirectly by Slope-Area Method
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 10, 1995
Scope:
This test method covers the computation of discharge (the volume rate
of flow) of water in open
channels or streams using representative cross-sectional
characteristics, the water-surface slope,
and coefficient of channel roughness as input to gradually-varied flow
computations.
This test method produces an indirect measurement of the maximum
discharge for one flow event,
usually a specific flood. The computed discharge may be used to help
define the high-water segment
of a stage-discharge relation.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The SI units given in
parentheses are for information only.
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.
