REFERENCE CALCULATION OUTPUT

Sizing outlet pipe

Outlet riser = 300 mm diameter

Estimated time to drain the basin = 12 hours

Average surface area, Av = Wt x Wb = 5.7 x 1.5 = 8.6 m2

Lt x Lb = 10.2 x 6 = 61.2 m2
69.8 m2

Av = 69.8/2 = 34.9 m2

2Av
Total area, AT = tc x √1.8
d √2g
2 x 34.9
= (12 x 60 x 60) x 0.6 x (√2 x 9.81) x √1.8
= 0.006 m2

Using size orifice 50 mm diameter

Aorifice = 0.00196 m2

Then the total orifice required is = 4 nos

Provide 10 nos of 50 mm diameter of orifice with 200 mm C/C
