*Note.--The water pressures given in above table are the pressures at the base of the riser, necessary to
deliver water to top of riser with a terminal pressure of 15 lb. when discharging the number of gallons per minute called for in Table 5, at the pressure drop indicated.
**Note.--Based upon 10 lb. pressure drop per 100 ft. run of pipe and a terminal pressure of 15 lb. at the uppermost fixture.. A terminal pressure of 15 lb. has-been selected for operation of flush valves. For
terminal pressure of 10 lb., deduct 5 lb. from the figures given above; or for a terminal pressure of 5 lb. deduct 10 lb. from above values..
Example.--What are the sizes required for mains and branches in a building 100 ft.
high, supplied with a water pressure of 75 lb. per sq. in. with 100 gal. of water per minute
required on each floor?
This is worked out in Table 2 and gives the pipe sizes for the main riser with a 10 lb.
drop for 100 ft. of run and shpws that a 3 in, main, reduced to 2 in., would be required:
branches to the various groups of fixtures can be taken from Tables 5 and 6. On the
top floor it will be necessary to use a 1H in. branch to carry 60 gal. per min. with a
pressure drop of 30 lb. but that at 30 ft. vertically from the supply, a l} in. branch
pipe will carry 60 gal. per minute, therefore 1 l/i in. pipe could be selected for this branch.
Assuming that the pressure drop in the main riser is 10 lb. per 100 ft. run and the pressure
drop on the top floor in the branch does not exceed 15 lb. in all and the static head for
building 100 ft. as given in column 2 of Table 6 is 43.31 lb. making a total of 58.31 lb.;
it will be seen that 75 lb.--58.31 lb., which equals 16.59 lb'., is the amount of pressure
over and above that required, and that this pressure can be utilized to overcome the
friction drop in the main feed line running from the source of supply to the base of the
riser.
'
From Table 2 it is found that 240 gal. per min. will flow at the first floor, and assuming
that this water supply is to be brought in a main 300 ft. long; Table 5 will show that a
3/^ in. supply would be necessary.
Example--What pressure is required in the water supply main to give 15 lb. pressure, at the uppermost fixture in a building where the riser is 100 ft. high and is located 75 ft. from the water main in a horizontal direction, when the other fixtures within the building are in use to their estimated average capacity?
Answer is found to be 75.8 lb. at the intersection of 100 ft. vertical height and 75 ft. horizontal run.
Note.--If only 10 lb. be required at the uppermost fixture, then 70.8 lb. would be the answer.
WHEN TANK IS ON ROOF
If tank is elevated about 35 ft. above highest fixture, which would be about 25 ft. above the roof, similar computations will apply for branch connections and main risers except that the main riser will have its
