Maximum time for the calculation. Can be less than T vlv . P min and P max are found for each pipe in the time period up to T max . See Discussion for further information. Top of Page Reservoir Elevation, H Physically, the reservoir should have a large enough area such that H does not change significantly during the transient.
H is considered to be constant.
You may enter up to 3 pipes in series. The calculation is valid for horizontal and non-horizontal pipes. All pipes must be made of the same material. User can enter location to compute maximum and minimum pressure Our calculation is set up to compute the overall P max and P min for each pipe. However, say in the case of an actual pipe rupture, you may need to know P max or P min at a specific location which may not necessarily be where the overall P max or P min occurs.
