Manning's Velocity Calculation

03/04/2009 3:54 PM

Hi,

I would like to calculate the flow for a 6" DIP when is filled with water and at 66% full?

I am having trouble with mannings velocity calc...

Any advise is welcome

The use of these graphs should help to answer your question. These graphs can be found in any civil engineering handbook. Match the pipe diameter with the pipe slope and draw a line. This will give your flow and velocity. Manning's is always done for full flow, then, using the next graph you can determine the flow characteristics for pipe running at less than full conditions. The images aren't very legible but as I said these graphs can be found in any handbook. I would never recommend using an internet calculator to do this sort of thing unless you have a lot of experience with it and can verify the results.

Hope this helps!
