PRO CALCULATOR WILL WORK ON PHONE OR PC (and offline) Keep clicking anywhere to proceed ENTER START PRESSURE say 40m=392.4 kPa LENGTH TO WORST CASE 392.4 ENTER NUMBER OF DWELLINGS 30 HEIGHT DIFFERENCE between start and end locations 12 Min residual head 15 3.0 10 10 40 m 32 1.937 0 15 1.94 ANSWERS
CHECK WITH CODE RESIDUAL HEAD IS 10m Pressure Drop = start – Ht. diff – residual = 40 – 15 – 10 = 15m 392.4 30 12 15 Pressure Drop 15 m 3.0 10 10 40 m 32 1.937 0 15 1.94 ANSWERS
CHECK WITH CODE Pressure Drop = 15m From Code table 3.2, flow from 12 dwellings = 1.94 L/s 392.4 30 12 15 3.0 10 From table C1 the closest higher flow for length 30m is 2.02 L/s. This gives the required pipe size = 32mm 32 1.937 0 1.94
A table is also produced showing the capacities of each pipe section 392.4 30 12 15 3.0 10 32 1.937 0 1.94
A table is also produced showing the capacities of each pipe section Length = 30 From previous: Pressure Drop = 15m Size from previous = 32. Flow = 2.02 Agrees with results CODE 392.4 30 12 15 3.0 10 32 1.937 0 1.94
Ability to enter fixtures as well as dwellings Flow is calculated 5 22 Flow is transferred to main screen 10 5 Flow is totalled 10 Fixed Flows ie Hose Reels can be added 1.25
If the pressure is too low, pump duty is calculated Use this pressure as the start pressure to calculate pipe sizes when using the pump.
HOW TO SIZE A LARGE JOB Draw a diagrammatic Name all the fixtures Sum the Loading Units from the table given in the notes section) Enter the Parameters & press calculate 392.4 CWR 1 30 Roof 12 30 35 15 WC Sk Name all the fixtures 65 3.0 Level 2 10 24 21 110 Level 1 32 30 30 1.937 0 170 1.94 Ground To Street main or Pump 230 400 To other parts of the project
SCROLL DOWN TO THE RESULTS TABLE Read off the required size for each pipe section, using the LU’s Choose the size that can carry the given LU’s or more (never less) Draw the size on the diagramatic 392.4 CWR 1 30 Roof 12 30 35 15 WC Sk 65 25 3.0 Level 2 10 24 21 25 110 Level 1 32 30 30 1.937 32 0 170 1.94 Ground 50 To Street main or Pump 700 870 To other parts of the project 40
ADVANTAGES OVER THE CODE QUICKER AND EASIER THE CODE PRESSURE DROP TABLES ARE IN INCREMENTS OF UP TO 5M, AND ONLY GO UP TO 35M THIS PROGRAM PRODUCES A TABLE FOR EVERY POSSIBLE PRESSURE DROP WITH NO UPPER LIMIT THE INDEX LENGTH IS ALSO INCREMENTED BY 5M THIS PROGRAM PRODUCES A TABLE FOR EVERY POSSIBLE INDEX LENGTH THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO INTERPOLATE BETWEEN THE FIGURES IN THE TABLES, OR ACCEPT A POSSIBLY LARGER SIZE THAN REQUIRED.
