Small residential roof, all parameters given — straightforward table lookup
Downpipe Sizing
Sizes roof downpipes by calculating the design stormwater flow per downpipe from the catchment area and rainfall intensity, then selecting the smallest standard uPVC round diameter whose full-bore capacity meets or exceeds the demand per AS/NZS 3500.3 Table 4.3. Used in building plumbing and roof drainage design to ensure adequate stormwater disposal from roofs.
