This is a service line. In a nutshell, if I have an X" pipe at X% slope, flowing half full, I know a velocity and discharge. As long as what is coming out of my building is less than that half full discharge, it is ok. My concern was designing a pipe with a velocity that matched the...
I'm back checking the flow rate from a building with a gravity line connecting to a manhole. The flow rate I have developed from the building is giving me a less than 2 f/s velocity in the pipe. Should gravity sewer pipes be sized for the peak flow rates and checked for the daily to meet a 2...
