Broad Crested weirs are commonly used to measure the discharge of rivers.

The Crump Weir models a triangular profile weir with a 1:2 sloping front face and a 1:5 sloping back face. This type of weir are used as measuring structures within open channel.

An ogee-crested weir is a special type of weir, generally used as a spillway of a dam as shown in figure. The crest of an ogee weir slightly rises up from the inside edge (i.e., a slight hump on top of the weir) and after reaching the maximum rise of 0.115 H (where H is the height of the water above the inside edge) falls in a parabolic form over the edge of the weir.

The "Cippoletti" weir is a trapezoidal shaped weir. The purpose of the slope, on the sides, is to obtain an increased discharge through the triangular portions of the weir, which otherwise would have been decreased due to end contractions in the case of rectangular weirs.
