Provision of Freeboard in Sewers &
Storm water Drain
• Designed to Carry Maximum Discharge while
flowing ½, 2/3, ¾ Full.
• Sewer Pipe upto 400 dia are designed for
running half Full at Maximum Discharge
• Sewer Pipe more than 400 Dia are desiged for
running 2/3 or ¾ full
Benefit of Leaving Extra Space in
Sewer Line
• Low Estimate of Flow due to any wrong data
• Large Scale infiltration
• Unforeseen increase in population
• No Overflow of Sewer due to any of the above
condition
Hydraulic Formula for Determining
Flow Velocity in sewer & Drain
• Manning’s Formula
V=1/n. r2/3.s1/2
Where
V=Velocity of Flow in Channel in m/s
R= Hydraulic Mean radius of Channel (m) =a/p
A= Area of Channel
P= wetted perimeter
For Circular sewer r=D/4 (D=Diameter of pipe)
S= Hydraulic Gradient say 1/100=.01, 1/200=.02
N =Rugosity Coefficient
Capacity of Sewer
