Manning's roughness coefficient values are used in the Manning's formula for flow calculation in open flow channels. Coefficients for some common used surface materials can be found in the table below: Manning's Roughness Coefficient -n0.011 0.016 0.011 0.015 0.012 0.014 0.011 0.012 0.015 0.013 0.011 0.022 0.025 0.022 0.025 0.030 0.035 0.035 0.050 0.075 0.15 0.016 0.010 0.029 0.011 0.025 0.022 0.030 0.035 0.040 0.009 0.009 - 0.015 0.018 - 0.025 0.009 - 0.011 0.010 0.012 0.011 0.019 EE Times Europe Medical Product Outsourcing Free Industry Magazines Microwave Product Digest
