Scope*1.1 This test method covers construction and operation of acircular orifice weir for measuring the discharge from
3、 a well.This test method is a part of a series of standards prepared onthe in situ determination of hydraulic properties of aquifersystems by single- or multiple-well tests. Selection of a welldischarge measurement test method is described in GuideD5737.1.2 The discharge rate determined by this test

Discharge is through an orifice weir thatallows determination of the discharge rate.4.25. Significance an
19、d Use5.1 This test method provides design information for con-struction of an orifice weir. It also describes setup, operation,inspection, calculation of discharge, and reporting. The accu-racy of a circular weir decreases at low flows. The use of acircular orifice weir requires a constant flow velo
20、city over theperiod of measurement. The results may be affected by thepiezometers distance from the orifice plate. This equipmentmay not be appropriate for measuring flows on small wells, orwells with limited recharge.5.2 Aquifer testing has been conducted for the purposes ofproduction and pressure
21、relief well design and water resourceassessment. Production wells are used for public and industrialwater supplies, hydraulic controls, and groundwater capture.Pressure relief wells are for hydraulic controls. Test wells arefor the purpose of water resource assessment.5.3 Discharge must also be know

The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it and thesuitability of the equipment and fac
23、ilities used. Agencies that meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assurereliable results. Reliable results depend on man
24、y factors; Practice D3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Construction of a Circular Orifice WeirAconstructiondiagram of a circular orifice weir is presented in Fig. 1.5Thecircular orifice is a hole located in the center of a plate attachedto a straight horizontal
25、 length of discharge pipe. The pipe is atleast 1.8 m 6 ft in length. Approximately 600 mm 24 in.from the end plate and at least 1.2 m 4 ft from the other endof the discharge pipe, a piezometer is attached to the dischargepipe so that the head in the discharge pipe can be measured.5Driscoll, F. G., G
26、round Water and Wells, Johnson Division, St. Paul, MN, 1986,pp. 537541.FIG. 1 Construction of a Circular Orifice Weir5D5716/D5716M 1526.1.1 Orifice PlateThe orifice is a round hole with clean,square edges in the center of a circular steel plate. The platemust be a minimum of 1.6 mm 116 in. thick aro
27、und thecircumference of the hole. The remaining thickness of theorifice should be chamfered to 45 and with the chamferededge down stream.6.1.2 Discharge PipeThe discharge pipe must be straightand level for a distance of at least 1.8 m 6 ft before the waterreaches the orifice plate. This approach cha
28、nnel should belonger if possible. The end of the pipe must be cut squarely sothe plate will be vertical.The bore of the pipe should be smoothand free of any obstruction that might cause abnormal turbu-lence.6.1.3 PiezometerThe discharge pipe wall is tapped mid-way between the top and bottom witha3mm
29、18-in. or 6 mm14-in. hole exactly 600 mm 24 in. from the orifice plate. Themanometer should be a distance of at least ten discharge pipediameters from the gate valve used to control pipe flow. Anyburrs inside the pipe resulting from the drilling or tapping ofthe hole should be filed off.Anipple is s
30、crewed into the tappedhole. The nipple must not protrude inside the discharge pipe.Aclear plastic tube 1.2 to 1.5 m 4 or 5 ft long is connected atone end to the nipple.Ascale is fastened to a support so that thevertical distance from the center of the discharge pipe up to thewater level in the manom
31、eter can be measured. Alternately, au-tube manometer or pressure transducer may be used. Duringa test the manometer must be free of air bubbles.6.2 The diameter of the orifice should be less than 80 % ofthe inside diameter of the approach channel pipe.7. Procedure7.1 Set up the apparatus as shown in
32、 Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Theapparatus should be set up so that the orifice pipe is horizontaland the discharge is unimpeded. Use a combination of pipe andorifice diameter so that the anticipated head will be at leastthree times the diameter of the orifice. The orifice plate must bevertical and centered i
33、n the discharge pipe.7.2 Equipment should be inspected to minimize the poten-tial of wear, damage or misuse causing increased head loss thatwill bias results.7.3 Initiate flow through the discharge pipe. Check that themanometer is free of air bubbles. Record the manometer level.Using Table 1 and Tab
34、le 2 for the appropriate pipe and orificesize, read the discharge.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the flow through the orifice using the basicequation:Q 5 AVC (1)where:Q = the flow per unit time,A = the area of the orifice,V = the velocity of flow through the orifice, andC = the coefficient of discharge
35、 for the orifice.The velocity of the water at the orifice consists of its velocityin the approach channel plus the additional velocity headcreated by the pressure drop that occurs between the connec-tion for the manometer and the orifice. Because the waterdischarges at atmospheric pressure, the pres
36、sure head indicatedby the manometer can be converted to the velocity if friction inthe pipe is neglected.FIG. 2 The Coefficient of Discharge, C, in the Orifice-Weir Equation3D5716/D5716M 1538.2 Relate the velocity to the head in the manometer by theequation:V 5 =2gh (2)where:V = velocity,g = acceler
37、ation due to gravity, andh = the height of water in the manometer.To compute the actual velocity through the orifice, the valueof V from Eq 2 must be added to the velocity in the dischargepipe approach, and the sum of these must be corrected by twofactors. One correction is for the contraction of th
38、e jet streamjust outside of the orifice, and the other is for the suddenchange in cross-sectional area of flow, which is controlled bythe size of the orifice relative to the size of the approachchannel. The approach velocity and the two correction factorsare combined into a single factor, C, whose v
39、alue varies withthe ratio of the orifice inside diameter to the approach-pipeinside diameter as presented in Fig. 2.8.3 The equation for flow through the orifice is:TABLE 1 Flow Rates through Circular Orifice Weirs5(SI)NOTE 1Flow rates indicated below the line are more exact than those above the lin
