Hydraulic Flow Calculations

This program can be used by designers of water supply, sewerage, irrigation or industrial pipelines, and has been made available as an alternative to using Flow Resistance Charts. It allows the user to select a pipe from the Iplex Pipeline range suitable to meet the hydraulic flow requirements of any single pipeline.

There are three separate calculation procedures shown on three pages as follows:

1. For a pressure pipeline which may rise and fall along its length, where the fluid is pumped.

   
   For a pressure pipeline which may rise and fall along its length but where the fluid flows under gravity.




2. For a non pressure pipe laid on a specific grade along its length where the fluid flows under gravity. In this case partial flows are not considered and the results given are only for pipelines flowing full.

   
   Note that no allowances have been made for entry, exit or fittings losses
