Example 7-2 3”<br />

acomputed for plastic pipe only. The Hazen-Williams equation was used to compute headlosses<br />

through each pipe segment (Hazen-Williams C= 150). Thes6rifice equation for sharp-edged orifices<br />

(discharge coefficient = 0.6) was used to compute the discharge rates through each orifice.<br />

The maximum lateral length for a given hole <strong>and</strong> spacing was defined as that length at which the<br />

difference between the rates of discharge from the distal end <strong>and</strong> the supply end orifice reached<br />

10 percent of the distal end orifice discharge rate.
