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

Full text
133. The sizing of the flow control device for reducing suspended matters, in the case of an orifice or orifice plate type, is established using equation 4-12:
Equation 4-12
where:
A=Flow section of the orifice (m2);
mes=Average flow leaving the permanent volume retention system to discharge the runoff volume to be treated (m3/s);
C=Discharge coefficient of the orifice: minimum value: 0.60;
9.81=Gravitational acceleration (m/s2);
H1=Vertical distance between the centre of the orifice and the average water level reached upstream of the orifice; the average level corresponds to the average between the maximum level and the level of the centre of the orifice;
H2=Vertical distance between the centre of the orifice and the water level downstream of the orifice (m); if the downstream side of the orifice is not submerged and is free-flowing, then H2=0.
O.C. 871-2020, s. 133.
