The Cipolletti Weir Flow Rate Calculator computes the rate at which water flows from a Cipolletti Weir given the width of the base of the weir and the height of the water level.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following 

  • (W) Width of the base of the weir
  • (H) Height of the water level above the base

Flow Rate (F): The flow rate of the water is returned in cubic feet per second

Type of snow or ice (kg/m3)
Fresh New snow  50-70
Damp new snow 100-200
Settled snow 200-300
Depth hoar 100-300
Wind packed snow 350-400
Firn   (granular) 400-830
Very wet  700-800
Glacier ice 830-917
Rain/Melt 997
