Calculators

Calculation method for determining the carbon footprint.

Choose the SDR or PN to display the DN range with the associated thicknesses and weights.

This module calculates the cost of filler and excavated material disposal per meter of trench, assuming a 10 cm layer above and below the pipe. The default trench width is that set out in Section 71.

Method for calculating the distance between two supporting points in a horizontal installation. The values should be doubled in the case of a vertical installation.

This module calculates the butt welding settings for an HDPE pipe.

Method for calculating the ballasting of an HDPE pipe that is submerged in water. This calculation is valid for sea outfalls at depths greater than 15 m. Additional measures must be taken (e.g. trenching) at shallower depths to counteract the effect of the waves

Module for estimating the force generated by the dilation of an HDPE pipe at a fixed point.

Module for calculating the maximum permissible pulling tension for an HDPE pipe

Method for calculating the flow in unpressurised pipework using the Manning Strickler formula. The flow is determined according to the diameter, fill level, slope and Strickler coefficient. The maximum flow is achieved with a fill level of 94%. The Strickler coefficient depends on the material used, ranging from 62 to 77 for rough concrete, 71 to 90 for smooth concrete, and 90 to 120 for polymers.

Method for calculating the diameter of a connection not exceeding 50 m in length. The calculation works out the coefficient of simultaneity used to calculate the flow rate from the number and type of different water use points, as described in DTU 60.11. A recommended diameter is then provided

Method for calculating the regular load losses in pressurised piping carrying water at 10°C using the Colebrook formula.
