• Tank Sizing
• Storage capacity should not less than one day.
• In certain areas with inconsistent and insufficient main
pressure, booster pump with suction tank and roof tank are
introduced.
• Suction tank= 1/3 of total demand
• Roof tank = 2/3 of total demand
• Tank size should reflect net capacity not nominal capacity

• PIPE FRICTION LOSS (UNIT METER HEAD OR FEET HEAD/METER RUN/FEET RUN)
• LOADING UNITS
OTHER SIGNIFICANT TERMINOLOGY
• LOADING UNITS:
Loading units are factors taking into account the
flow rate at the appliance, the length of time in use
and the frequency of use.

Size the pipe within each toilet
Demand (LU) for each toilet = 7 LU
Assume friction loss between 0.03 m wg/m run
till 0.05m wg/m run …..take 0.03 m wg/m run
V=0.5m/s

Pipe size=25-32mm OD
V=0.5-0.75 m/s

• Repeat the same process for each
branch of distribution pipe to each
appliance group, FROM GRAPH 4 we
get:-
(A-B) 22 0.5 40
(C-D) 15 0.38 40
(E-F) 8 0.28 32

….next
• WE ESTABLISH THE;-
Node A to K
Fitting equivalent lenght 14.62 meter run
Actual pipe lenght 20 meter run
(5+5+3.5+2.5+2.5+1.5)
Total equivalent lenght 34.62 meter run
• Earlier we assume pipe friction loss=0.03m/meter
run
• Therefore loss due to pipe and fitting:
• =34.62 meter run x 0.03 m/meter run
• =1.04 m head
….CONTINUE
• FINALLY CHECK:
• AVAILABALE PRESSURE AT ‘OUTLET’ AFTER CONSIDER ALL THE LOSSES
DESIGN PIPE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE SINCE RESIDUAL PRESSURE AT FITTINGS < 7.0m. HAVE TO INCREASE PIPE
SIZES OR USE PUMP IF NOT NECESSARY.
