In Australia we have been investigating the design data for a low pressure sewage system. The data promoted by USA manufacturers doesnt hold true with the equivalent flows from a gravity sewer system over about 200 tenements. It under predicts the number of pumps on line at any one time.

Research has been undertaken into the gravity design loadings method and questions have been raised as to the accuracy of this statistical approach.

Is there any published modern research that has attempted to validate the actuals flows of sewage versus the recognised for low pressure systems or gravity systems.
