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.
