Significance and Use5.1 Many mathematical equa
15、tions for determining aquiferproperties based on controlled field tests utilizing a single ormultiple-pumping wells include a dependent variable, termeddischarge, and generally designated as Q. Equations have beendeveloped for constant and variable discharge. Those forvariable discharge may specify
16、regularly increasing, or regu-larly decreasing, or randomly varying discharge rate.5.2 Aquifer testing has been conducted for the purposes ofproduction and pressure relief well design and water resourceassessment. Production wells are used for public and industrialwater supplies, hydraulic controls,
17、 and ground water capture.Pressure relief wells are for hydraulic controls. Test wells arefor the purpose of water resource assessment.5.3 Discharge must also be known for certain methods toevaluate well and pump performance.6. Apparatus6.1 Construction of a Circular Orifice WeirAconstructiondiagram
18、 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 length of discharge pipe. The pipe is atleast 6 ft (1.8 m) in length. Twenty-four inches (609 mm) fromthe end plate and at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from the o
19、ther end of thedischarge pipe, a manometer is attached to the discharge pipeso that the head in the discharge pipe can be measured.6.1.1 Orifice PlateThe orifice is a round hole with clean,square edges in the center of a circular steel plate. The platemust be a minimum of116 in. (1.59 mm) thick arou
20、nd 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 6 ft (1.8 m) before the waterreaches the orifice plate. This approach ch
21、annel 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 ManometerThe discharge pipe wall is tapped mid-way between the top and bottom with a18
22、-in. (3.17 mm) or14-in. (6.35 mm) hole exactly 24 in. (609 mm) from the orificeplate. The manometer should be a distance of at least tendischarge pipe diameters from the gate valve used to controlpipe flow. Any burrs inside the pipe resulting from the drillingor tapping of the hole should be filed o
23、ff. A nipple is screwedinto the tapped hole. The nipple must not protrude inside thedischarge pipe. A clear plastic tube 4 or 5 ft (1.2 or 1.5 mm)long is connected at one end to the nipple. A scale is fastenedto a support so that the vertical distance from the center of thedischarge pipe up to the w
24、ater level in the manometer can be5Driscoll, F. G., Ground Water and Wells, Johnson Division, St. Paul, MN, 1986,pp. 537541.FIG. 1 Construction of a Circular Orifice Weir5D 5716 95 (2006)2measured. Alternately, a u-tube manometer or pressure trans-ducer may be used. During a test the manometer must
25、be freeof air bubbles.6.2 The water level in the manometer indicates the pressurehead in the approach pipe when water is being pumped throughthe orifice. For any given size of orifice discharge pipe, the rateof flow through the orifice varies with the pressure head asmeasured in this manner. Table 1
26、 presents the flow in gallonsper minute (gpm) for various combinations of orifice and pipediameters.6.3 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 Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Theapparatus should be s
27、et 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 in the discharge pipe.7.2 Equipment should be
28、 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 for the appropriate pipe and orifice size, read the
29、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 for the orifice.The velocity of the water at the orific
30、e 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 pressure head indicatedby the manometer can be converted to
31、the velocity if friction inthe pipe is neglected.8.2 Relate the velocity to the head in the manometer by theequation:V 5 =2gh (2)where:V = velocity,g = acceleration 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
32、 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 the jet streamjust outside of the orifice, and the other is for the suddenchange in cross-sectional area of flow which is controlled bythe size
33、 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 value varies withthe ratio of the orifice inside diameter to the approach-pipeinside diameter as presented in Fig. 2.8.3 The equation for flow
34、through the orifice is:Q 5 CA = 2gh 5 8.025CA=h (3)TABLE 1 Flow Rates Through Circular Orifice Weirs5,ANOTE 1Flow rates indicated below the line are more exact than those above the line because the head developed in the piezometer tube for particularpipe and orifice diameters is large enough to ensu

41、es of C may be obtained from Fig. 2, and Eq 3 may beused to calculate the pumping rate for any combination oforifice diameter, approach-pipe diameter, and water height inthe piezometer tube. The pumping rate, Q, will be in the unitsof gallons (litres) per minute when the orifice area, A,isinsquare i
42、nches (millimetres) and the water level in the manom-eter, h, is in inches (millimetres). The value of C from Fig. 2 isonly valid for use with this combination of units.8.4 A discharge of 55 gpm (208 Lpm) will cause 5 in. (127mm) of head due to a 212-in. (63.5 mm) orifice and a 4-in. (102mm) approac
43、h pipe. Similarly, a discharge of 5 310 gal (20.100L) per minute will cause 70 in. (1.780 mm) of head due to a12-in. (305 mm) orifice and a 16-in. (406 mm) approach pipe.8.5 Extensive calibrations of circular orifice weirs indicatedthat they will measure the flow through the orifice within 3 %of the
