Mike:
I see that you are in Colorado. My system has been approved by CDPHE as an advanced treatment system and, I can say that after having worked on a number of large projects in Colorado for the last decade, you have some of the highest septic system costs I have seen anywhere. What I have...
I have a question.
Using PVC pipe , I drilled holes and inserted fittings with a threaded end and a barbed end into the hole in the pipe. The barbed end is on the outside so that I can connect a water manometer to it and the threaded end was fit into the hole. There is no projection of the...
I guess I would build the apparatus with two orifice plates and measure the pressure drop across them and see what type of relationship exists for the series arrangement at a fixed distance apart. Maybe take several measurements and fit a curve to the data.
I spent all day yesterday soaking...
Stephan:
If I understand the question......
In a similar situation I built a manometer an pipe taps and measured the differential pressure across the orifice plates. with known flowrates you can back out the discharge coefficient(s).

What type of treatment system are you designing and what is the design organic loading and hydraulic of that system? Will these be transient RV's or more or less permanent? Do you have discharge requirements to meet? Are you in a cold climate or a warm one? High elevation or sea level? What...
What questions do you have? A 400,000 GPD drainfield is pretty large and complex. Take a look at squirtonsite.com for pressure distribution system software
