RAIN WATER CALCULATIONS:

Bases of Calculations:
 The rate of rain fall per hour for Riyadh city is 38 mm (1.5 inch).
 Size of vertical storm water conductors or leaders shall be sized according to
Table (13.6.1) and table (13.6.2).
As per national standard plumbing code (NSPC) page no. (325) table (13.6.1) and
page no. (326) table (13.6.2).
Refer to attachment no. (1)
 Roof area as per maximum area which drained at one leader.

1.1 Rain water stack size calculations Area 1
 From roof floor plan the rain water drainage DWG at the maximum area drained to
one RD
 From table (13.6.1) at the rain fall 1.5 inches (38 mm) per hr, the diameter of
conductors or leader at 4 inches (110mm) to be equivalent to rain water area
10380 ft2 (964.33m2) which greater than the maximum collection area of 188.65
m2 (2030.6 ft2).
