Preface and Acknowledgement
For the last decade or two, many have predicted the demise of printed materials: no more news-
papers, no more books, no more magazines. Everything would be instantaneously available on
ones computer, and printed material no longer would be necessary. Although most everything
printed now is also available via the Internet, it is not true that the printed page has disap-
peared. In fact, recent statistics show that as a country, we are printing more material today than
we were 10 years ago. However, predictions of a paperless society continue.
With that said, the American Society of Plumbing Engineers has opted to print this book. It is a
large bookmore than 2,400 pagesand it contains much material that many engineers already
have on their computers, most likely as Excel spreadsheets or PDF files. Of course, using digital
data means interrupting the program, drawing, or proposal on which you are working to open yet
another program, and then inputting the proper data to get the answer you need.
After careful review and discussion with many members and professionals, the ASPE Board of
Directors agreed that this specific handbook of tables and related plumbing engineering and
design material would be a significant addition to an engineers bookshelf.
We expect that you will find this book as valuable and useful as we believe it to be. The materials
contained herein will, in this one source, replace myriad other books and many special computer
programs. While many of the tables found in this book were produced by similar electronic
spreadsheets you may already have, one of this books major benefits is that the user can see
variations and alternatives side by side. You no longer need to print multiple spreadsheet results
for comparisons.
Please be sure to let us know what you think of this book. Contact information can be found on
the ASPE website at www.aspe.org.
Thanks to:
This book is a collaboration between ASPE President Julius A. Ballanco, PE, CPD, and ASPE
Executive Director Stanley M. Wolfson. The collaborators are responsible for researching and cre-
ating all of the material found in this bookstandardizing and creating the equations to produce
the electronic spreadsheets, finding related material to include, researching source materials,
and even establishing the initial designs and producing the base graphics that were fine-tuned
by staff.
Of course, this book is the sum of the hard work, input, review, and proofing by numerous indi-
viduals. Special thanks go to ASPE Board of Directors members J. Norman Parks, CET, CPD,
Vice President, Technical (who deserves special accolades as the overall coordinator who oversaw
those acknowledged as the book was produced); William F. Hughes Jr., CPD, Vice President,
Education; Ray W. Moore, PE, CPD, Vice President, Legislative; C. David Hudson, CPD, Vice
President, Membership; Jeffrey L. Ingertson, CPD, Secretary/Treasurer; James J. Rodgers, CPD,
Region 2 Director; and David H. Anelli, Region 3 Director (who deserves special recognition for
his natural gas equation expertise). Additional thanks go to those members of the Technical and
Research Committee who helped proof the book: Earl W. Bob Boulware, PE; David E. DeBord,
CPD, LEED AP; Jim Burne; Michael Frankel, CPD; Stephen Jerry McDanal, CET, CPD; Gary E.
Mohr, CPD; and James T. Zebrowski, PE, CPD. Last, but not least, two of the most critical indi-
viduals who helped make this work a reality are ASPE Editorial Director Gretchen Pienta and
ASPE Graphic Designer Dave Ropinski.

Manning Equation/Formula
The Manning Equation is a semi-empirical equation and is the most commonly used equation
for uniform steady state flow of water (natural flow or flow driven by gravity) in open chan-
nels or flume. Because it is empirical, the Manning equation has inconsistent units which are
handled through the conversion factor k. Uniform means that the water surface has the same
slope as the channel bottom. Uniform flow is actually only achieved in channels that are long
and have an unchanging cross-section. However, the Manning equation is used in other situa-
tions despite not strictly achieving these conditions.

Manning Formula
R2/3 S1/2
V = 1.486 n
where
V = velocity of flow, fps
n = coefficient of roughness
R = hydraulic radius, ft
S = hydraulic slope of surface of flow, feet per feet
or
2/3 1/2
Q = A 666.9nR S
where
Q = flow rate, gpm
A = cross sectional area of flow (sq ft)
n = coefficient of roughness
R = hydraulic radius, ft
S = hydraulic slope of surface of flow, feet per feet

About Robert Manning


In 1826, Robert Manning worked as an accountant in Waterford, Ireland. During the great
famine of 1846, he was recruited into the Arterial Drainage Division of the Irish Office of Public
Works although he had no education or formal training in fluid mechanics or engineering. His
initial work was as draftsman before being appointed an assistant engineer to Samuel Roberts
and then district engineer, from 1848 to 1855. It was as a district engineer that he became
interested in hydraulics.
Manning left the Office of Public Works to supervise construction of the Dundrum Bay Harbor,
Ireland and helped design a water supply system for Belfast. He returned to the Irish Office of
Public Works in 1869 as assistant to the chief engineer and took over the chief engineer posi-
tion in 1874. He retired in 1891 and died in 1897.
He first developed, what has now become known as the Manning Formula, by comparing and
evaluating seven of the best known hydralic-type formulas of the time. He developed calcula-
tions for velocity for each formula for a given slope and hydralic radius. He then established a
mean value of the seven velocities that he began to evolve into his own equation.
It wasnt until 1889 that Manning proposed his formula to the Institution of Civil Engineers (Ire-
land) in a paper. On the flow of water in open channels and pipes, published in the Transac-
tions of the Institution of Civil Engineers (Ireland). Manning never liked his formula because of
the difficulty with the calculations required in his equation. His formula went through a number
of early stages and revisions with V = (1/n) R2/3 S1/2 being the most acceptable at the time.
The publication of this formula version in the Handbook of Hydraulics, by King (1918) led to
the widespread use of the Manning formula and the acceptance that the Mannings coefficient
C should be the reciprocal of Kutters n.
In the United States, n is referred to as Mannings friction factor, or Mannings constant. In
Europe, the Strickler K is the same as Mannings C, i.e., the reciprocal of n.

Chapter 2
Hazen-Williams Formula
In the absence of solid scientific data, engineers in the past have experimented with and used
empirical equations for determination of friction losses in pipe flow. Many of these equations 2
were developed over the early years but most have fallen into disuse. Due to the difficulty in
using the DArcy-Weisback equation for pipe flow one singular example still endures, which is
the Hazen-Williams formula. Hazen-Williams is simpler to use than DArcy-Weisbach where
you are solving for flowrate, pressure drop or velocity dependent on the flow.
The DArcy-Weisbach formula is generally considered more accurate and is valid for any liquid
or gas. The Hazen-Williams method is very popular, especially among civil engineers, because
of its ease of use and its friction coefficient C is not a function of velocity or pipe diameter.
Its validity depends on the successful selection of the constant friction loss coefficient C,
which is a function of pipe material, pipe linings and pipe age to indicate the roughness of a
pipe interior. The higher the C factor, the smoother the pipe. Typical values of the roughness
coefficient C is given in the table following this definition.
The Hazen-Williams equation has narrow applicable ranges for Reynolds numbers and pipe
sizes. The equation is generally valid for pipe sizes 3 in. (75 mm) and larger, for water flowing at
temperatures of between 40 to 75F (21 to 24C) and pressures up to 175 psi (1.2 MPa). The
level of error when the Hazen-Williams equation is used outside its data ranges is significant.
In this case, the DArcy-Weisbach formula must be used. The Hazen-Williams equation is com-
monly used for pressure drop calculations in American fire sprinkler systems, water distribution
systems, and irrigation systems where conditions are mostly constant.

Chapter 3
Darcy-Weisbach Equation/Formula
The Darcy-Weisbach equation is a widely used fluid mechanics and hydraulics equation en-
abling calculations for head loss due to friction during turbulent flow of a fluid through or
within a given length of duct or pipe of any shape.
The equation was initially based on the Prony equation and later refined by Henry Darcy, and 3
further refined by Julius Weisbach of Saxony.

DarcyWeisbach Formula
2
h= fLV
2 Dg
where
h = friction head loss, ft
f = coefficient of friction, dimensionless
L = pipe length, ft
V = velocity of flow, fps
D = pipe diameter, ft
g = gravitation acceleration
or
r L V2
Dp = 2Dg
where
Dp = pressure loss, psf
r = density of fluid
l = coefficient of laminar, or turbulent flow,
f = coefficient of friction, dimensionless
L = pipe length, ft
V = velocity of flow, fps
D = pipe diameter, ft
g = gravitation acceleration

About Henry Philibert Gaspard Darcy


Henry Darcy was born in 1803 in Dijon, France. He began his studies at the cole Polytechnique
(Polytechnic School) in Paris, later transferring to the cole des Ponts et Chausses (School of
Bridges and Roads).
He was employed by the Corps of Bridges and Roads where he built a pressurized water distri-
3 bution system in Dijon, France. The system was a covered aqueduct that carried water to reser-
voirs that then fed into a network of gravity pressurized pipes requiring no filters or pumps.
He originally worked with the Prony equation for calculating head loss due to friction which he
modified for his work in hydraulics research; focusing on flow and friction losses in pipes.
After further modification by Julius Weisbach, the equations develped by Darcy would become
the well-known Darcy-Weisbach equation.
About Julius Ludwig Weisbach
Julius Weisbach initial worked as mathematics teacher at the local Gymnasium (school). After
a few years, he became a teacher for Mathematics and the Theory of Mountain Machines at
the Freiberg Bergakademie where he was later promoted to Professor for applied mathematics,
mechanics, and theory of mountain machines.
Weisbach's book, Lehrbuch der Ingenieur-und Maschinenmechanik was an important work
used by many engineering students at that time. Weisbach refined the Darcy equation into
current Darcy-Weisbach equation.

NOTES:
1. A Bathroom Group, for the purposes of this Table, consists of not more than one water
closet, up to two lavatories, and either one bathtub, one bath/shower combination, or
one shower stall. Other xtures within the bathing facility shall be counted separately to
determine the total drainage xture unit load.
2. A Half-Bath or Powder Room, for the purposes of this Table, consists of one water closet
and one lavatory.
3. For unlisted xtures, refer to a listed xture having a similar ow and frequency of use.
4. When drainage xture unit (DFU) values are added to determine the load on the drainage
4 system or portions thereof, round the sum to the nearest whole number before referring to
Tables 11.5.1A, 11.5.1B, or 12.16.6A for sizing the drainage and vent piping. Values of 0.5
or more should be rounded up to the next higher whole number (9.5 = 10 DFU). Values of
0.4 or less should be rounded down to the next lower whole number (9.4 = 9 DFU).
5. Other Than Dwelling Units applies to business, commercial, industrial, and assembly oc-
cupancies other than those dened under Heavy-Use Assembly. Included are the public
and common areas in hotels, motels, and multi-dwelling buildings.
6. Heavy-Use Assembly applies to toilet facilities in occupancies that place heavy, but
intermittent, time-based loads on the drainage system, such as; schools, auditoriums,
stadiums, race courses, transportation terminals, theaters, and similar occupancies where
queuing is likely to occur during periods of peak use.
7. Where other than water-supplied xtures discharge into the drainage system, allow 2 DFU
for each gallon per minute (gpm) of ow. (See Section 11.4.2.)

foot (10.4 mm/m) slope, multiply horizontal xture units by a factor of 0.8.
Note: The diameter of an individual vent shall not be less than one and one-fourth (1-1/4)
inches (31.8 mm) nor less than one-half (1/2) the diameter of the drain to which it is connected.
Fixture unit load values for drainage and vent piping shall be computed from Tables 7-3 and
7-4 [2006 International Plumbing Code]. Not to exceed one-third (1/3) of the total permitted
length of any vent may be installed in a horizontal position. When vents are increased one (1)
pipe size for their entire length, the maximum length limitations specied in this table do not
apply.

Sizing, Capacity and Flows

The design objectives for an efficient hot water distribution system include the following:
1. Providing adequate amounts of water at the prescribed temperature to all fixtures and equip-
ment at all times.
2. A system that will perform its function safely.
3. The utilization of an economical heat source.
4. A cost-effective and durable installation.
5. An economical operating system with reasonable maintenance.

Basic Formulae and Units


The equations in this chapter are based on the principle of energy conservation. The funda-
mental formula for this expresses a steady-state heat balance for the heat input and output of
the system:
6
Equation
q = r w c T
where
q = Time rate of heat transfer, Btu/h (kJ/h)
r = Flow rate, gph (L/h)
w = Weight of heated water, lb (kg)
c = Specific heat of water, Btu/lb/F (kJ/kg/K)
T = Change in heated water temperature (temperature of leaving water
minus temperature of incoming water, represented as Th Tc, F [K])
Mixed Water Temperature
Mixing water at different temperatures to make a desired mixed water temperature is the main
purpose of domestic hot water systems.
P is a hot water multiplier and can be used to determine the percentage of supply hot water that
will blend the hot and cold water to produce a desired mixed water temperature.

Equation
Tm Tc
P=
Th Tc
where
P = Hot water ratio, unitless
Th = Supply hot water temperature, F (C)
Tc = Inlet cold water temperature, F (C)
Tm = Desired mixed water temperature, F (C)

12 western states Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The NOAA Atlas 2 PrecipitationFrequency Atlas of the Western United
States (11 Volumes, 1973) should also be utilized in the design for the 12 western states.

Sizing, Capacity and Flows

Definitions and Equations


For the tables in this section, references to inch-pound (IP) units and international standard
(SI), or metric with metric (SI) units given in parenthesis), units have the following conven-
tions:
1. Flow-rate measurements referring to standard conditions shall be preceded by the prefix s
for IP units and n for SI units.
2. Pressure designations using standard atmospheric conditions as the base shall be followed
by the suffix g for gauge pressure in IP units. (No suffix is used with SI units.)
3. Pressure designations using absolute zero pressure conditions as the base shall be followed
by the suffix abs in both IP and SI units.
4. Pipe sizes using nominal pipe-diameter dimensions in IP units shall be designated as nomi-
nal pipe size (NPS) and based on inches and fractions of an inch (e.g., 2 and 1 in.); in
SI units the size shall be expressed as nominal diameter (DN), based on millimeters (e.g.,
50 and 40 DN).
Vacuum: any air pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. Vacuum is used by having air at
atmospheric pressure enter a piping system that has a lower pressure. The way most vacuum
systems function is that air becomes the transporting medium for any gas or suspended solids
and the negative pressure provides the energy for transportation. These two essential factors
operate in inverse proportion: as the airflow increases, the vacuum pressure decreases.
8
Vacuum level: the difference in pressure between the evacuated system and the atmosphere.
Vacuum pressures fall into three general categories:
1. Rough (or course) vacuum, up to 28 in. Hg (94.8 kPa).
2. Medium (or fine) vacuum, up to 1 micron ().
3. Ultra-high vacuum, greater than 1 .
scfm: ambient, standard free air at atmospheric pressure.
acfm: actual cubic feet per minute (greater than scfm). The expanded air in the vacuum pip-
ing system. The flow in a vacuum pipe is expanded cfm and represents the flow under actual
vacuum conditions.
Converting scfm to acfm
Equation
acfm = scfm 29.92 T + 460
P 520
where
P = Actual pressure for the scfm being converted, in. Hg
T = Actual temperature for the scfm being converted, F
icfm: inlet cubic feet per minute. Alternative phrase to indicate acfm.
Standard air is: dry (0.0 % relative humidity), 14.7 psia (101.4 kPa), and 60F (15.5C).

Vacuum Systems

When the sizing chart available to the design engineer uses a vacuum level different than that
of the system being designed.

Simplified Method of Calculating Velocity: velocity of a gas stream under a vacuum:

Equation
 7$t2
where
V = Velocity, fpm (m/s)
C = Constant for velocity based on pipe size.
Q = Flow rate based on an absolute vacuum pressure, acfm (aL/s).
Vacuum Work Forces
Equation
 '1t"
where
F = Force, lbs (N)
P = Vacuum pressure, psig (Pa or N/m2)
A = Area, in.2 (m2)
Note 1: 1 Pa = 1 N/m 8

Note 2: This formula is theoretical thus, it is common practice to use a safety factor in the
range of 3 to 5 times the calculated force to compensate for the quality of the air
seal and other factors such as configuration of the load and outside forces such as
acceleration.
Value For Allowable Leakage In A Vacuum System: No meaningful formula exists to
calculate this value. However, The Heat Exchange Institute has developed a standard based on
system volume. This formula, transposed to solve for leakage, is:

Equation
0.15 V
T
L=
4.5
where
L = Leakage, scfm (sL/s)
(Note: To convert to metric, multiply L by 0.4719.)
V = Total piping system volume, ft3 (m3)
T = Time for vacuum pressure to drop 1 in. Hg (kPa), min
Exhauster rating adjustments: Adjustment of cfm (L/s) for long runs.

Equation

adjusted cfm = friction loss (in. Hg) selected cfm

Equation

T= Q
where
T = Time, min.
V = Volume of system, ft3 (m3)
Q = Flow capacity of pump, scfm (sL/s)
N = Natural log constant
For vacuum up to 10 in. Hg (33.9 kPa), N = 1
For vacuum up to 22.5 in. Hg (76.2 kPa), N = 2
For vacuum up to 26 in. Hg (88.0 kPa), N = 3
For vacuum up to 28 in. Hg (94.8 kPa), N = 4

Sizing and Capacity (Natural Gas)

Their are several equations that have been developed for natural gas flow; for example, the
Spitzglass, Weymouth and Panhandle. All three formulas are empirical. Traditionally, the Spitz-
glass formula was used for low pressure gas having less than 1 psig pressure. The Weymouth
was alternately used for high pressure gas; and the Panhandle tended to be used for 6 to 24 inch
(15 to 60 cm) gas lines with Reynolds numbers between 5 million and 14 million.
The general Spitzglass Formula is found on the next page.
Over time a high pressure version of this formula was also developed although the Weymouth
was the more accepted for high pressure gas calculations.
Over time all of the equations were "adjusted" to account for various differences that occurred
during computations. The most likely adjustment was to the constants that varied in equa-
tions, often varying in the same named formula for the same purpose of calculating high or low
pressure gas flow. If you get the opportunity, it is interesting to compare the various calculation
equations to see how similar they all really are. In fact, some studies comparing calculations
have shown minimal differences in the final results when different equations have been used
for the same data set.
As calculations attempt to become "accurate" depending on the system being considered,
further adjustments continued to be made in the constants and in the powers to account for
limited Feets of straight pipe runs; such as having elbows, "Ys" and other pipe joints.
For purposes of the calculations used in this book, the tables have been developed using the
equations specified in the International Fuel Gas Code for low and high pressure gas and for
undiluted propane. These equations, given that they are part of the accepted codes, seem to be
the set that is most uniformly accepted. The same equations are also referenced in an Annex/
Appendix of the National Fire Protection Association document on codes.
The equations are presented below. And, as can readily be perceived, contain adjusted con-
stants and values of powers to account for other than having unlimited straight runs of piping.
Built into these equations is a factor of about 20% or more to account for various pipe joints
and directional changes.
The included tables presented for Natural Gas and for Undiluted Propane utilize the same
equations: specific factors for these tables are specified below the equations. As will be quickly
noted, there are a huge number of natural gas and undiluted propane tables. While it is recog-
nized that there are limited gas pressures in actual use, this book does not attempt to define any
specific or "accepted" pressures. Rather, the tables are presented for what they are, statistical/
mathematical calculations for various materials and pipe sizes utilizing reasonable pressure
change increments; resulting in a large number of tables rather than just a "few only" tables.

0 Furthermore, the tables are presented for what they are, pre-calculations of the sizing and ca-
pacity of pipe materials. It is the engineer that can then utilize a variety of pipe system sizing
methods the Longest Feet Method; the Branch Feet Method; the Pressure Drop Method; the
Hybrid Pressure Methog which result in the final system being "engineered or designed."

Sizing and Capacity Tables: U.S./English

See Natural Gas Chapter for Detail


Regarding Equations and Formulas
For the Following Tables for
Natural Gas and Undiluted Propane:
A Temperature of 70F is use in the calculation for all tables
A Specific Gravity of 0.60 is used for Natural Gas
A Specific Gravity of 1.52 is used for Undiluted Propane
The value for Cr is calculated for each table entry
using the established equation
The value of Y, Superexpansibility factor was
maintained at 1 for all calculations.
For the value of Z, the viscosity of gas
0.012 is used for Natural Gas
0.008 is used for Undiluted Propane
All calculations have been rounded to three significant digits.
Typically, a gas flow of less than 10 cfh is not considered
For conversion to SI:
1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot = 304.8 mm,
1 pound per square inch = 6.895 kPa,
1-inch water column = 0.2488 kPa,
1 British thermal unit per hour = 0.2931 W,
1 cubic foot per hour = 0.0283 m3/h,
1 degree = 0.01745 rad.
