The table can be used for pipes in other thermoplastic materials where the inner diameter corresponds to PVC Pipe Schedule 40 * 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m + 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s * 1 gal (US)/min =6.30888x10° m/s = 0.227 m/h = 0.0631 dm(liter)/s = 2.228x10° ft/s = 0.1337 ft/min + 1 psi/100 ft = 2.3 ftH20/100 ft = 2288 mmH0/100 ft = 22.46 kPa/100 m Note! Velocities should not exceed 5 feet per second The values can be used to calculate minor pressure loss with the Equivalent Pipe Length Method ‘ainches “gam” lume ow Vetoty “igoroom Fees co (galhr)
