Chapter 5 Pipe sizing Standards（第五章管分级标准）.pdf

HAC_C05.qxd 7/24/08 9:35 Page 174 Chapter 5 Pipe sizing Pipes and fittings should be sized so that the flow rates for individual draw-offs are equal to the design flow rates shown in table 5.1. During simultaneous discharges, flows from taps should not be less than the minimum flow rates shown in table 5.1. BS 6700 recommends that flow velocities should not exceed 3 m/s. BS EN 805 recom- mends 0.5 m/s to 2 m/s with a maximum of 3.5 m/s in exceptional circumstances. Filling times for cisterns may range from 1 to 4 hours depending on their capacity and the flow rate available from the local water supply. In dwellings the filling time should not exceed 1 hour. Design flow rates may be calculated by dividing the cistern capacity by the required filling time.
