Non-pressurised Cold Water Pipe SizingThe method is similar to L.T.H.W. pipe sizing except that the pressure available is not from a pump but from the head available from the tank. The higher the tank is above the outlets the more head will be available to force the water through the outlets and overcome pipework resistances.Head AvailableCold Water Storage TankOutletHead AvailableWater flow in pipeWater level in tankThe Head Available develops water pressure and this water pressure is used up in overcoming the frictional resistance of the pipe and in creating the velocity pressure for water flow at the outlet.p1 - p2 = frictional resistance + velocity pressure or,h1 - h2 = head loss in pipe due to friction + velocity headwhere p = pressure (N/m2)h =head (m)In practice, to avoid additional velocity pressure calculations, it is usual to calculate the available pressure by considering the difference in levels between the bottom of the storage tank and the height of the draw-off points. The pressure losses in the system are frictional pipe losses and velocity pressure loss through sanitary fittings such as taps, cistern ball valves and shower heads.Velocity head loss through fittings is as follows :-Pillar tap 1mShower head1.5mBall valve1mWater Flow RatesCold water flow rates for sanitary appliances for small installations may be found from the table below.

If the pressure available at the end of the section is more than or equal to the pressure required at the end of the section then the pipe size is correct.?22mm pipe is correct.Pipe Sizing for Heating Systems?All pipe sizing in building services is based on the D'Arcy equation, where:H=4 . f . l . v2/2 . g . dwhere H = head loss due to friction in a straight pipe (m)f = friction coefficientl = length of pipe (m)d = diameter (m)v = velocity of fluid (m/s)g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)The object of pipe sizing is to obtain the smallest diameter of pipe without too high a water velocity or too high a pressure drop and therefore large pumps.It is more convenient to use pipe sizing tables when sizing pipes rather than the D'Arcy equation. This is because the water velocity and head loss (or pressure loss) are unknown at the time of pipe sizing, and the friction coefficient (f) varies with Reynolds number which in turn varies with velocity and diameter.A FLOW of WATER in PIPES TABLE is provided in these notes.The CIBSE guide provide pipe sizing tables in sections C4.11 to C4.45.L.T.H.W. (Low Temperature Hot Water) PIPE SIZINGWhen sizing pipes for heating systems the water velocity should not exceed 1.0 m/s. (Except for large diameters - see CIBSE guide tables B1.17 & B1.18). This reduces noise and wear.The pressure drop should not exceed 300 Pascals per metre run of pipework to keep pumps down to a reasonable size. This means that for every metre of pipework the resistance to water flow should be no more than 300 Pa which is about 30 mm head.FLOW of WATER in PIPES TABLEThe table below shows pipe sizes for 15mm to 76mm diameter copper pipe.To find a suitable pipe size for a heating circuit the flow rate is used to find an appropriate diameter.If the flow rate of water is known then look down under any pipe diameter column to ascertain the corresponding pressure drop and velocity.If the pressure drop and velocity exceed the criteria in the previous section then try the next pipe size up.If the pressure drop and velocity are within the criteria then the pipe is sized correctlyEXAMPLE 1Determine the smallest pipe which will carry 0.4 kg/s of water at 75oC using Copper, Table 'X'.Consult the FLOW of WATER in PIPES TABLE (Copper pipe at 75oC).The pipe diameters are written in bold type across the top of the table. The pressure loss per unit length (Pa/m) and velocity (m/s) are written down the LHS of the table.A red horizontal line is drawn across the table below 300 Pa/m.This means that suitable pipe sizes will be found above this line.The velocity follows a stepped line the lower blue line is the1.0 m/s velocity line.?A 22 mm pipe will carry 0.4 kg/s but the pressure loss per unit length is below the red horizontal line and outside the table. The pressure loss is in fact (790 Pa/m) and is too high since the maximum should be 300 Pa/m. The velocity is also too high at about 1.3 m/s, the optimum being 1.0 m/s.If this is the case then look at the next pipe size up, at 28 mm. The flow rates closest to 0.4 are 0.394 and 0.414 kg/s.0.4 kg/s is in between these two flow rates.A 28 mm pipe will carry 0.4 kg/s with a pressure loss of about 230 Pa/m and a velocity of 0.7 m/s.This meets the design criteria and therefore 28 mm would be a suitable pipe size.?EXAMPLE 2Determine a suitable pipe size for L.T.H.W. copper pipe for a flow rate of 1.0 kg/s.Answer:A 42 mm pipe gives a flow rate of 1.0 kg/s with a pressure loss of 160 Pa/m and velocity of about 0.9 m/s.EXAMPLE 3Choose a pipe diameter for a heating system (L.T.H.W.) with a heat output of 32 kW.Answer:First find the mass flow rate of water required.?A 35 mm pipe will give a flow rate of 0.76 kg/s with a pressure loss of 250 Pa/m and a velocity of 0.95 m/s.?EXAMPLE 4Size the flow and return pipework to a 1.6 kW radiator.?A 15 mm pipe will give a flow rate of 0.038 kg/s with a pressure loss of 80 Pa/m and a velocity of about 0.25 m/s.PIPE FITTING LOSSESPipework fittings such as bends, tees, reducers etc., cause pressure loss or resistance in a heating system. When making approximate calculations 10%, 15%, 20% or more may be added to the pressure loss in straight pipe runs.For accurate calculations the fitting loss should be determined separately for each fitting.The concept of equivalent length is used and is defined as the length of straight pipe which would give a friction pressure loss equivalent to one velocity head.The D’Arcy equation is;H=4 . f . l . v2/2 . g . dWhere;H = head loss due to friction in a straight pipe (m)f = friction coefficientl = length of pipe (m)d = diameter (m)v = velocity of fluid (m/s)g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)The D’Arcy equation can be rewritten for pressure instead of head.Pressure drop (?pl)=( 4 . f . l ) / d x ( v2 . ? . g ) / 2 . gWhere; ?pl=Pressure loss in a pipe section (Pa)f=friction coefficient for pipe l=length of pipe (m)d=diameter of pipe (m)v=water velocity (m/s)?=density of water (kg/m3)g=acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)To simplify the above equation we get;Pressure drop (?pl)=( 4 . f . l ) / d x ( v2 . ? ) / 2 or;Pressure drop (?pl)=( 4 . f . l ) / d x ( ? . ? . v2 )For the friction pressure loss to equal one velocity head;Velocity pressure=( ? . ? . v2 )Then 1.0=( 4 . f . l ) / d The length (l) is now called equivalent length (le) and by rearranging the above formula we get;1.0 x d=4 . f . lele=d / 4 .f Values of equivalent length are given in the FLOW of WATER in PIPES TABLE for water at 75oC, see CIBSE guide C (2001) section 4 , Flow of Fluids in Pipes and Ducts, Tables 4.9 to 4.33 for various types of pipes.These values should be corrected for each particular type of fitting.The correction factors of Velocity pressure loss factors are called ?(Zeta) factors.The resistance in a fitting is converted to equivalent straight lengths of pipe, e.g. a bend may have a resistance equivalent to 1.2 metres of straight pipe.The TOTAL EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF A FITTING = Equivalent Length x Pressure Loss factor ?(Zeta).TOTAL EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF A FITTING (m) = (le) x ??(Zeta factor).See CIBSE guide C (2001) section 4.9 for more details of fittings zeta factors.EXAMPLES OF ? zeta FACTORSThe following are some examples of pressure loss (? zeta) factors for pipe fittings:PIPE SIZING TABLEThe pipe sizing table shown below is an aid to sizing more complicated circuits.A description is given in the Table below. EXAMPLE 5Size the pipework for section (B) of a heating system shown below.Section B is in red.Also determine the pressure drop in section (B)The total length of the section is 8 metres (includes flow and return)Section B supplies hot water to Radiator No. 2 and No. 3.The amount of heat to be transferred to radiators No. 2 & 3 is:1.5 + 1.0 = 2.5 kW.The downstream tees will be included in this section.Index CircuitThe Index Circuit is the circuit with the highest resistance.This only applies to systems where the circuits are divided.The Index Circuit needs to be identified so that the pump can be sized.Example 1The system shown below is divided into two sub-circuits A & B.PumpSub-Circuit BSub-Circuit ABOILERNo.1No.2No.3No.4No.5Heat EmittersA pipe sizing calculation would determine which of the two sub-circuits had the most resistance and therefore which was the Index Circuit.The reason for finding the Index Circuit is to size the pump.The pressure developed by the pump should be capable of overcoming the resistance in the Index Circuit.If the pump pressure can overcome the resistance in the Index Circuit, then it can overcome the resistance in other circuits of lesser resistance.If it was found that the Index Circuit was Circuit (B) in the above diagram then we would include the flow of water through radiators No. 3, 4 and 5.If we examine Circuit (B) then the Index Circuit flows past Radiator No.3 and No.4 and through Radiator No.5. This would be the circuit with the highest resistance. If the pump is capable of forcing water through the pipework to Radiator No.5 then there will be enough pressure to force the water through Radiators No.3 & No.4 since they are closer to the pump.This is the reason why only one radiator is included in the calculations for resistance in the Index Circuit.PumpSub-Circuit B is Index CircuitSub-Circuit ABOILERNo.1No.2No.3No.4No.5Heat EmittersRadiator No.5 Included in Index CircuitExample 2A heating system is shown below.There are seven radiators and seven pipe sections.The pipe sections under the radiators are from tee to tee.BOILERSection 1Section 2Section 3Section 4Section 5Section 6Section 7Radiator No. 1Radiator No. 2Radiator No. 3Radiator No. 4Radiator No. 5Radiator No. 6Radiator No. 7The Index circuit is the one with the highest resistance.This is normally the longest run to the radiator that is at the greatest distance from the pump. The first six radiators are not included in the Index circuit. The index circuit below includes all seven sections but only includes; the boiler and fittings around the boiler in section 1, tees in sections No.1 to No.6 and the last radiator and radiator valves in the section 7.Section 1BOILERSection 2Section 3Section 4Section 5Section 6Section 7Radiator Nos.1 to 6 are not included in the Index RunRadiator No. 1Radiator No. 2Radiator No. 3Radiator No. 4Radiator No. 5Radiator No. 6Radiator No. 7Only Radiator No.7, the last rad., together with the rad. valves is included in the Index Run.Index Circuit;Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. ................
