ROOF-Rain water drainage -Corner RA-10 Approved by:

A x R x 0.0104
GPM = 6383 0.75 x 0.0104 => GPM = 49.8

A x R / 3600
L/S = 593 x 19.05 / 3600 => L/S = 3

R = Rainfall Intensity in ("/hr) in gpm formula or (mm/hr) in metric formula

A = Roof Area in (ft2) in gpm formula or (m2) in metric formula
