Maximum capacity is a function of a pipe's roughness(n), size (diameter or surface area), hydraulic radius (area/wetted perimeter) and slope. To use this calculator, enter the constant multiplier from thelist above and choose the pipe's slope. The calculator will perform the remaining calculations.1.49 / nSlope114.620.045Vel = col 2 x col 5 x S^.5 = fpsQ = col 2 x col 6 x S^.5 = cfsVel = Pipe Velocity, Q = Max Pipe DischargeD theor = 16{Qn/S^.5} ^.375D (inches), Q(cfs), S(ft/ft)Vel = 1.49/nR2/3 S0.5 ; Q = VA, A = (Pi/4)D2Hydraulic radius: R = A / wetted perimeter (pi x D) which reduces to D/4 for circular pipeApplicability - Although the Manning's equation is only applicable where flow is steady and uniform, (and discharge does vary during thepassage of a flood wave), during the specific time around the peak, the flow is essentially steady.Hint: When comparing pipes of similar material installed at the same slope, it is only necessary to compare the product of each pipe's (Area x HydraulicRadius) to compare capacities. Columns 6 and 7 gives the "carrying capacity" when comparing pipes that differ only by size. Cxample #1: A two-inchpipe can carry 535% more flow than a one-inch pipe (of the same material, installed at same slope) Example #2: If a 15 inch pipe is installed in abasin that requires an 18 inch pipe, as much as 37% (1-63%) of the drainage basin's flows won't be conveyed by the underdesigned 15" system.
