Design & SizingCâu 27 / 110
Two demand loads combine on a main: branch A carries 40 WSFU and branch B carries 60 WSFU. If the Hunter demand chart converts 100 WSFU (predominantly flush tanks) to about 44 gpm, what design flow sizes the main?
a.22 gpm
b.33 gpm
c.44 gpm
d.104 gpm
Giải thích
You add the fixture units first, 40 + 60 = 100 WSFU, then convert the combined total to gpm on the demand curve, giving about 44 gpm. You must never convert each branch to gpm and add the flows, because the Hunter curve already accounts for the low probability of simultaneous use, and adding gpm overstates demand.

- A water main runs 250 ft of developed length and the friction chart shows a loss of 6 psi per 100 ft at the design flow. How much pressure is lost to friction over the full run?
- A sewage ejector pump must handle a building with a discharge of 30 gpm against 18 ft of total head. Using WHP = (gpm x head in ft) / 3,960, what is the water horsepower?
- A sewage sump receiving a peak inflow of 45 gpm is served by a pump that discharges 90 gpm when running. If useful storage between pump-on and pump-off is 30 gallons, how long does one pump-down cycle (running time) last during peak inflow?
- A meter and service must supply 44 gpm. The static supply is 68 psi, elevation loss is 20 psi, the meter loss is 8 psi, and the most remote fixture needs 15 psi. How much pressure remains for pipe friction?
- An individual vent serving a lavatory is 1-1/2 in. The vent sizing table limits a 1-1/2 in vent to a maximum developed length of 150 ft at the fixture-unit load carried. If the vent run is 90 ft, is the vent acceptable and why?
- A hot-water line is limited to a maximum velocity of 5 ft/s. Using v = 0.408 x Q / d^2, what is the maximum flow through a pipe with a 0.785 in inside diameter (nominal 3/4 in type L copper)?
