    The document provides information on Manning's equation and roughness coefficients for different pipe and channel materials.

    Manning's equation is used to determine the maximum flow capacity of pipes or open channels.

    The type of material, size, surface condition, and other factors affect the roughness coefficient (n) value assigned to a pipe or channel surface.

    The Manning's equation determines the maximum gravity flow capacity of a pipe or conveyance. Maximum capacity is a function of a pipe's roughness
    (n), size (diameter or surface area), hydraulic radius (area/wetted perimeter) and slope. To use this calculator, enter the constant multiplier from the
    list above and choose the pipe's slope. The calculator will perform the remaining calculations.
    1.49 / n Slope
    114.62 0.045 Vel = col 2 x col 5 x S^.5 = fps Q = col 2 x col 6 x S^.5 = cfs
    Vel = Pipe Velocity, Q = Max Pipe Discharge D theor = 16{Qn/S^.5} ^.375 D (inches), Q(cfs), S(ft/ft)
    Vel = 1.49/nR2/3 S0.5 ; Q = VA, A = (Pi/4)D2 Hydraulic radius: R = A / wetted perimeter (pi x D) which reduces to D/4 for circular pipe

    Applicability - Although the Manning's equation is only applicable where flow is steady and uniform, (and discharge does vary during the
    passage of a flood wave), during the specific time around the peak, the flow is essentially steady.

    Hint: When comparing pipes of similar material installed at the same slope, it is only necessary to compare the product of each pipe's (Area x Hydraulic
    Radius) to compare capacities. Columns 6 and 7 gives the "carrying capacity" when comparing pipes that differ only by size. Cxample #1: A two-inch
    pipe can carry 535% more flow than a one-inch pipe (of the same material, installed at same slope) Example #2: If a 15 inch pipe is installed in a
    basin that requires an 18 inch pipe, as much as 37% (1-63%) of the drainage basin's flows won't be conveyed by the underdesigned 15" system.
