3. Practical concepts for pipeline design
It is important to take into account the high demands placed on the network at peak times. To calculate pipe characteristics, weighting coefficients (simultaneity, peak, etc.) are applied to practical unit flows.
3.1 Base flow
The quantities of water required to supply a plant are determined by :
the number of users, which gives the daily consumption ;
the number and capacity of devices used to determine cross-sectional area and flow rate.
Each type of device is characterized by its drawing capacity, known as the basic flow rate, generally measured in liters per second (L/s) and sometimes in cubic meters per hour (m 3...
