Small residential pipe, all parameters given, gentle slopes
Sewer Pipe Sizing
Selects the smallest standard gravity sewer pipe diameter (per WSAA WSA 02 / AS 4130) that conveys a given design flow using Manning's equation for full-pipe capacity. Computes pipe slope from invert levels, iterates standard diameters from 150 mm to 1200 mm, and reports the full-pipe velocity and flow depth ratio for the selected pipe.
