Water Supply Design Tools

Preliminary hydraulic screening calculators with explicit user inputs

Screening only: the displayed design ranges are generic engineering assumptions, not a regulatory compliance certificate or tender BOQ. Confirm project criteria, fire-flow requirements, pipe classes, pump curves, geotechnical conditions, and supplier quotations before design issue.

Use 6 separate calculations: Water Demand, Pipe Sizing, Tank Design, Pump Station, Pipe Headloss, Pressure Zones. These tabs do not author or solve a connected network.

ใช้เครื่องมือคำนวณแยก 6 รายการสำหรับความต้องการน้ำ ขนาดท่อ ถัง ปั๊ม การสูญเสียแรงดันในท่อเส้นเดียว และโซนแรงดัน โดยยังไม่ใช่แบบจำลองโครงข่ายที่เชื่อมต่อกัน

When to use

  • Sizing distribution mains and service lines for a demand scenario
  • Checking single-pipe headloss with a selected formula
  • Selecting a pump duty point and sizing storage / fire reserve

How to use

  1. 1Choose one calculation: Demand, Pipe Sizing, Tank Design, Pump Station, Headloss, Pressure Zones.
  2. 2Enter flow, length, roughness (C or ε) and elevation data.
  3. 3Review velocity/pressure checks against design criteria.

Key formulas

Hazen-Williams head loss (SI)

h_f = 10.67 · L · Q^1.852 / (C^1.852 · D^4.87)

Q (m³/s), D,L (m), C = roughness coefficient

Darcy-Weisbach

h_f = f · (L/D) · V² / (2g)

f from Colebrook–White; V = velocity (m/s)

Continuity / pipe sizing

Q = V · A = V · (π/4) · D²

Pipe diameter for a target velocity

Design flow Q
50 L/s = 0.05 m³/s
Target velocity V
1.2 m/s

A = Q/V = 0.0417 m² → D = √(4A/π) = 0.230 m → use DN250
