Note: Standard pipe sizes are 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,18 and 21inches. Please use these sizes on the drawings.
CALCULATIONS:
HORIZONTAL PIPE SIZE (FLOWING FULL): MANNING FORMULA:
Q=(1.486/n)*A*R^.667*S^.5 OR DIA = 12*((GPM/448.7)(N)/(0.5*S^0.5))^0.375
ROOF DRAINAGE CALCULATIONS
SECONDARY DRAINS PRIMARY DRAINS
WHERE: Q=FLOW IN CFS; A=AREA, Sq. Feet; R = HYDRAULIC RADIUS, Feet; S = SLOPE, FT/FT; n = COEFFICIENT OF ROUGHNESS
VERTICAL PIPE SIZE (FLOWING 7/24 FULL):
GPM =27.8(7/24)^1.666(D)^2.667 OR DIA = 0.617(GPM)^.375
PRIMARY SCUPPER:
GPM = 4489.86(3.33(W*12-0.2H*12)(H*12)^1.5)
OVERFLOW SCUPPER:
GPM = 4489.86(3.33(W*12-0.2H*12)(H*12)^1.5)
WHERE: W = WIDTH OF SCUPPER (Inches) H = HEAD (Depth) OF WATER OVER BOTTOM OF SCUPPER (Inches)
2 Inches for Primary Scuppers
1 Inch for Secondary or Overflow Scuppers
Notes: 1. Adjusted wall areas should be put into the spreadsheet as the entire square footage. This number will be
adjusted by the spreadsheet to calculate only one-half of the square footage in the calculation.
2. The smallest pipe size available is 4 inches in the calculation. If you have a small roof area, verify if a
smaller pipe size could be used in accordance with the applicable code.
