Hazen-Williams Pipe Inside Diameter

Hazen-Williams coefficient uses the pipe inside diameter as one of its parameters for calculating the flow rate of water through the pipe. The inside diameter is a crucial factor in determining the hydraulic characteristics of the pipe.

It's worth noting that the Hazen-Williams coefficient is an empirical formula and is primarily applicable to water flow in municipal water supply systems.  While it's a convenient and widely used method, especially for its simplicity, more advanced hydraulic models may be used for applications where higher accuracy is required or for non-standard conditions.

 

Hazen-Williams Pipe Inside Diameter formula
\( d  =  ( Q \;/\; C \; 0.285  \; m^{0.54} )^{1/2.63}  \)     (Hazen-Williams Pipe Inside Diameter) \( Q =  C \; 0.285  \; d^{2.63}  \; m^{0.54}   \) \( C =  Q \;/\; 0.285 \; d^{2.63}  \; m^{0.54}   \) \( m  =  ( Q \;/\;  C \; 0.285  \; d^{2.63}  ) ^{1/0.54} \)
