Question

A proposed PVC pipeline (C=130) has a design flow of 4200 gal/min. The pipeline needs to be sized such that the unit headloss does not exceed 10 ft/1,000 ft.

NOTE: When sizing the pipeline round up your minimum diameter to the next even number as your actual pipeline diameter.

After sizing the pipe, what is the actual unit headloss in the sized pipeline?

Round your headloss to the nearest tenth (ft/1,000 ft).
