Hydraulic Calculation for Hydrant System

1 Total Flow Requirement as per NBC-2016, Part-4 171 cu m / hr

2850 LPM

2 Hazen williams Formula for friction loss

P = (6.05XQ^1.85 X 10^5) /( C^1.85 X d^4.87 )

p=Pressure loss in bar per meter

Q= flow in dm3 / min
C= 120, constant for GI pipe
d=Dia in mm
l=Length of pipe

Total length of piping from Pump room to Farthest equivalent length for
fittings nos total length

Diameter of pipe 150 mm 90 elbow 4 4.30 17.2
Equivalent length for fittings 192 mtr Tee 29 5.50 159.5
Total Length 342 mtr Butterfly valve 3 1.13 3.39
Friction Loss 1.83 bar Flow switch 1 1 1
Others 2 5.5 11
3 Terminal Pressure maintained at furthest Fixture 3.5 bar 192.09
4 Static Head = Vertical Lift 110 mtr
11 bar
Total pressure required 16.3 bar

Total Head in meters 163 mtr

Round Up Head in meter with 5% safety 172 mtr

17.2 bar
Note : -
1) Equivalent length Values for Fittings taken from IS:15105 table: 13.2.3 and engineering tool box
