plumbing size

The relationships among plumbing size, water flow, pressure and head are fundamental to the science of hydraulic design, notes Steve Gutai, our resident hydraulics expert. Although the mathematics defining those relationships can be complex, he stresses the fact that the basic concepts driving the science are something that anyone charged with designing complex systems should understand and apply with each and every project.

Working successfully with hydraulic systems requires two things:  Understanding the definitions of the basic factors involved in hydraulic calculations and seeing how those values relate to and influence each other in the real world. The last installment in this series of articles focused on the relationship between flow and velocity with respect to water.  The related concept we’ll explore this time takes our understanding of that key relationship a step farther by exploring a specific pair of additional relations summarized by
