Important !
This calculation is based on a free-flowing pipework system. Elbows and 90° T-fittings causing loss should not be used.
Any alteration of the channel profile or of the inlet angle automatically changes the above calculated average flow rate.
The average flow rate is calculated for and with fluvo-Schmalenberger products only.
The inlet angle, precise positioning of the jets and pipework dimensions can only be calculated after receipt of the purchase order and of current drawings.
