Design & Sizing第 8 / 110 题
A horizontal drainage branch carries the following drainage fixture units (DFU): 4 water closets at 4 DFU, 4 lavatories at 1 DFU, and 2 kitchen sinks at 2 DFU. What is the total DFU load carried by the branch?
a.18 DFU
b.28 DFU
c.32 DFU
d.24 DFU
解析
Total = (4 x 4) + (4 x 1) + (2 x 2) = 16 + 4 + 4 = 24 DFU. This total is read against the horizontal fixture branch column of the drain sizing table to select the pipe. Because water closets are present, the branch can be no smaller than 3 in regardless of the DFU count.
