Design & Sizing第 31 / 110 题
A drainage stack sizing table lists a 4 in stack at 500 DFU maximum and a 3 in stack at 48 DFU maximum for the total to a stack. A stack collects 240 DFU. What is the minimum stack size, and what secondary rule also applies?
a.3 in, and a cleanout is required
b.3 in, and no water closets allowed
c.4 in, and no size reduction downward
d.6 in, and a vent stack is required
解析
240 DFU exceeds the 48 DFU limit of a 3 in stack, so a 4 in stack is required, and a stack may never be reduced in size in the direction of flow as it descends. Downsizing a stack lower down would create a restriction that floods the branches above it. The stack must stay 4 in or larger to its base.

- 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?
- 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 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)?
- A demand of 62 gpm must be delivered with an available friction pressure of 24 psi over a 200 ft developed length. What is the allowable friction loss per 100 ft used to size the pipe?
