INTRODUCTION During the past 30 years, the use of thermoplastic piping in water and sewer systems has increased significantly. There are

11、 many reasons for this wide acceptance, but one of the primary characteristics which makes thermoplastic piping attractive to designers is the low resistance to flow that this piping offers. This report gives information on the range of pipe sizes commonly used in water and sewer systems. The tables

12、 contained in the appendices give the flow capacities of standard sizes of thermoplastic pipe in terms of velocity and head loss due to friction in pressure piping systems. Similarly, tables are presented that demonstrate the relationship of slope to flow velocity for thermoplastic pipe used in grav

13、ity flow applications. The information in this report applies to all types of thermoplastic materials used for water and sewer systems. These pipes are made by the same basic extrusion technique, which results in smooth inside surfaces. 2. HEAD LOSS IN PRESSURE PIPES A number of empirical formulae h

14、ave been developed to solve problems involving positive pressure flow in pipes. All of these depend, to some extent, on experimentally determined coefficients. The most commonly accepted approximations for pressurized flow applications are the Darcy-Weisbach Formula and the Hazen-Williams Equation.

15、2.1. Darcy-Weisbach Formula The Darcy-Weisbach Formula for head loss in a circular pipe is: Where: HL = HeadLossinfeet J = Darcy-Weisbach friction factor (approximated from Moody Diagram) L = Length of pipe in feet D = Inside diameter in feet V = Average flow velocity in feet per second g = Gravitat

16、ional constant = 32.2 feet/second/second As indicated above, the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor is a function of the Reynolds Number for the piping system under consideration. The Reynolds Number is a 1 dimensionless number relating the fluid velocity, pipe diameter, and fluid viscosity. This relati

17、onship is: D R, =VX- Where: RN = V= B= P= Reynolds Number Average flow velocity in feet per second Inside diameter of the pipe in feet Kinematic fluid viscosity in feet-feet per second Having determined the Reynolds Number, the friction factor, f, may then be obtained from the smooth pipe curve of t

18、he Moody Diagram (see Appendix VIII). This value, along with the other variables, is then substituted into the Darcy-Weisbach Formula to solve for head loss. Although the Darcy-Weisbach Formula is generally regarded as the most accurate means of relating head loss and flow, it can prove cumbersome t

19、o use due to the iterative nature of its solution. Standard practice in most situations is to then utilize a less accurate but acceptable method of calculation of flow or head loss that closely approximates the flow conditions under consideration. 2.2. Hazen-Williams Formula One of the most commonly

20、 accepted formulas for head loss approximation and the basis for the pressurized flow tables in this report is the Hazen-Williams Equation. This relationship, expressed as a function of pressure loss in feet per 100 feet of pipe, is presented below. It is the expression that serves as the basis for

21、the values presented in the appendices in Tables 1 through 30 for pressurized flow. Q“2 HL = 0.2083 x x C.852 d 4.8655 Where: HL = C= - Q= d= Head Loss in feet per 100 feet of pipe Hazen-Williams Flow Factor 150 for thermoplastic pipe Volumetric Flow Rate in gallons per minute Pipe inside diameter i

22、n inches The volumetric flow rate can be converted to flow velocity by using this equation: 0.40085 x Q d2 V= 2 Where: V = Flow velocity in feet per second Q = Volumetric Flow Rate in gallons per minute d = Pipe inside diameter in inches Other forms of the Hazen-Williams Formula are contained in App

23、endix IV. Any of these forms of the Formula can be assumed to be relatively accurate for piping systems in which the Reynolds Number is greater than 109 That is, where the flow velocity multiplied by the pipe inside diameter is greater than 15 for water flow. As noted above, a Hazen-Williams Flow Fa

24、ctor of 150 is recommended for thermoplastic pipes. This value is based upon laboratory tests and field experience. Test results have yielded higher values in the range of 155 to 165, but the use of a value of 150 is conservative in nature and, therefore, aids in providing a further factor of safety

25、 to the design. 3. GRAVITY FLOW 3.1. Hazen-Williams Formula The Hazen-Williams Formula may be used for the approximation of gravity flow as well as pressurized flow. As indicated previously, various forms of this formula are presented in Appendix IV. 3.2. Manning Equation A more commonly accepted ap

26、proximation for gravity flow is the Manning Equation. This relatively straightforward equation is: 1.486RO. xSo. n V= Where: V = Average flow velocity in feet per second R = Hydraulic radius in feet = ID/4 for full flow = Cross sectional area of flow / wetted perimeter S = Slope in feet per foot n =

27、 Manning flow coefficient Various forms of this equation are presented in Appendix V. 3 Tables 3 1 through 46 have been developed for full flow conditions assuming an “n” factor of 0.010. Practical experience has shown that this value represents a reliable, conservative approximation of the flow pro

28、perties associated with polyethylene pipe. 4. DESIGN VELOCITY AND TOTAL ALLOWABLE PRESSURE The maximum allowable water velocity in thermoplastic piping systems is a function of the design of a specific system and its operating conditions. In general, design velocities of 5 to 10 feet per second are

29、considered normal. Further details on flow velocities and total allowable pressures can be found in Appendix I. 5. CORROSION ALLOWANCE Contrary to the experience with some other piping products, no allowance for corrosion and, therefore, subsequent lowering of flow capacity, has to be included in th

30、e Tables that are used in this report. Field experience in North America and Europe over the past 30 years indicates that the flow characteristics in older thermoplastic lines are essentially unchanged over time. 6. FITTINGS A piping installation consists of straight pipe, bends, elbows, tees, valve

31、s, and various other obstructions to flow. The most common approach is to express the loss through a fitting as being the number of linear feet of pipe that sustains the same loss. In calculating the head loss through a piping system, it is then only necessary to evaluate the total number of feet of

32、 straight pipe plus the equivalent length of pipe represented by the fittings under consideration. The equivalent lengths of straight pipe for various fittings, expressed as a function of pipe diameter, is presented in Appendix VI. 7.

35、ER VELOCITIES IN THERMOPLASTICS PIPING SYSTEMS The maximum water velocity in a thermoplastic piping system depends on the specific details of the system, the character of the flow stream, and the system operating conditions. In general, design velocities of 5 to 10 feet per second are being used and

36、 are considered normal. Higher flow velocities are common in certain applications including gravity and slurry flow. However, in all instances, careful consideration should be given to the effect that flow velocity will have on overall piping system performance in light of valve, pump, and system op

37、eration. Particular attention should be given to possible effects of excessive velocity on pipe abrasion rate and on pressure surges that may be generated by sudden or rapid changes in flow velocity. Recommendations for pressure surge design, which are given in design standards or offered by piping

38、manufacturers, should be followed. In the case of a polyethylene piping system, the working pressure of the system plus recurrent surge pressure associated with a specific piping arrangement or operation should not exceed 150% of the pipe pressure rating. Occasional surge pressures in excess of this

39、 limit are allowable so long as the total of the expected surge plus the working pressure of the system does not exceed 200% of the pipe pressure rating.
