    Sanitary plumbing and drainage Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide Not all sanitary appliances willbe in simultaneous use. The peak design flow can be assessed by applying a frequency of use K factor (see Table 6) to the total sum of the dlacharge us, and by using the following equation: (Quw =k ¥S0U Where: ,, = Wastewater tow rate (V5) K = Frequency of use SDU = Sum of aischarge units Before the stack selection can be made, any other continuous oF fixed flow must be added to the Qww value, Tho following equation explains further: Og = Oy + + Oy Where: Qy4 = Total flowrate (Vs) Qyq, = Wastewater flowrate (Vs) = Continvous flowrate (us) Q, = Pumped flowrate (Us) ‘Once the Qj, value has been obtalned, a decision about the stack size, and ventilation principle can be made by referring to Tablo 7 and 8. Tho pipo sizes relate t0 the pipe bores which have {taditionally been used in the UK. The theoretical minimum bore for 50, 75, 100 ‘and 150 sizes is 44, 75, 96, and 146mm. ‘respectively.
