All charts in AS2200-2006, have been developed using the formulae below:
g = Gravity = 9.81 m/s2
v = kinematic viscosity of water = 1.010E-06 m2/s k = Colebrook-White roughness coeff = 0.015 mm = 1.500E-05 m D = Inside diameter = 300 mm = 0.300 m S = Slope, in metres per metre = 4.000% = 0.0400 m/m = (Hydraulic Gradient) V = Velocity = 4.38 m/s Discharge: Q = V x A A = 0.071 m2 Q = 0.3093 m/s = 309.3 L/s Note: Depending on the required conditions, use the "Solver" routine to find the un-known Tip: If you try to find only 1 unknown, the others will be found automatically DO NOT use solver to find a cell with a formulae. It will write over the formulae. Instead ONLY allow solver to change either k, D or S eg., If we only know g v k D & Q and we need to find S & V then all we need to do is find S (using Solver).
