13 .1 GEOMETRIC DATA
Tank Nominal Diameter = 39,000 mm
Tank Height, = 20,100 mm
Roof lowest height, H = 1500 mm
Drain outlet nozzle elevation, z = 225 mm

Roof Deck Area = 920.30 m

Design Rain Fall = 50 mm/hr

Design drainage required, Qreq. = 46.01 m / hr

No. of Roof Drain, N = 2


Roof drain pipe size (rigid & fitting) = 4" Sch 80
Dain Pipe Outside Diameter, Do = 101.6 mm
Drain pipe thickness = 8.56 mm

Drain Pipe length :


L1 = Rigid 20 m x 2 nos. = 40 m
L2 = Flexible 23.14 m x 1 nos. = 23.14 m

13 .2 Number of Fitting & Accessories per drain pipe


- 45º elbow N45º = 2
- 90º elbow N90º = 1
- Valve Nv = 1
- Rigid pipe = 2
- Flexible pipe = 1

G = Gravity acceleration
K = Friction Coefficient
- For rigid pipe : K1 = 0.0168
- For flexible pipe : K2 = 0.03
L' = Total equivalent length of drain pipe
D = Inside Diameter of drain pipe = 0.08448 m

13 .5 EQUIVALENT PIPE LENGTH OF VALVE AND FITTING


Accordance to NFPA 15 Table 8.5.2.1,
Equivalent length for 4" 45º elbow, L45º = 3.1
90º elbow, L90º = 1.2
Valve, Lv = 0.6

Total equivalent pipe length for RIGID PIPE:


L1' = L1 + N45º x L45º + N90º x L90º + Nv x Lv = 48 m

Total equivalent pipe length for Flexible PIPE:


L2' = L2 = 23.14 m
