LBS. per square in. = Head in
ft. x .433
Head in ft. = lbs. per sq.
in. x 2.31'
The velocity of two (2)
feet per second is generally accepted as the velocity ot carry solids.
Data shown is
calculated form Williams and Hazen formula:
H = 1043.94
X ((Q^1.852) / ((C^1.852 X D^4.8655)))
USING: C = 150 for water
at 60 degrees F. and plastic pipe.
(coefficient for roughness of the interior pipe surface)
H = head loss in FT.
V = fluid velocity in FT/SEC.
D = inside diameter of the pipe in INCHES.
Q = flow rate GPM
