Sewer Flow

This document provides information for calculating flow parameters for a low-cost housing development using uPVC pipes. It includes pipe dimensions, flow rates, Manning's roughness coefficients, and calculations of full flow capacity, actual flow, velocity, and Froude number to determine acceptable flow conditions. Key parameters are a 0.375m diameter pipe at 80m length serving 10 units with 600 liters per day flow and a peak flow of 0.28 liters/second including 15% infiltration. Calculations determine the full flow capacity is 196.0 liters/second and the Froude number is above acceptable limits.
