Introduction

Welcome to Marjorie Cowley's 2018 Water Pipe Sizing Calculator. We understand the importance of having the correct pipe size for your water system. Improper sizing can lead to various issues such as low water pressure, insufficient flow, or even pipe bursts. With our user-friendly calculator, you can easily determine the ideal pipe size for your water needs, ensuring efficient operation and optimal performance.

Why Pipe Sizing Matters

Proper pipe sizing is crucial for maintaining a reliable and efficient water distribution system. If the pipes are too small, it can restrict the flow, resulting in reduced water pressure and inadequate supply. On the other hand, using oversized pipes can lead to wastage of resources, increased installation costs, and potential complications in system design.

Our 2018 Water Pipe Sizing Calculator takes into account various factors such as flow rate, pipe material, total dynamic head, and friction loss to provide accurate sizing recommendations tailored to your specific requirements. By using our calculator, you can avoid the common pitfalls associated with improper pipe sizing and ensure your water system operates optimally.

How to Use the Calculator

Using our water pipe sizing calculator is as simple as following a few easy steps:

  1. Enter the required flow rate: Specify the desired flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute (LPM). This represents the amount of water you need the system to supply for your specific application.
  2. Select the pipe material: Choose the appropriate pipe material from the provided options. Different materials have varying friction factors, which affect the size requirements.
  3. Enter the total dynamic head: The total dynamic head takes into account the height difference between the water source and the point of use, as well as any additional pressure considerations (e.g., elevation changes, equipment restrictions, etc.). Enter this value to accurately determine the required pipe size.
  4. Calculate and obtain the recommended pipe size: Once you have input all the necessary information, click the "Calculate" button. Our algorithm will process the data and provide you with the recommended pipe size that meets your specified requirements.
