Pipework - Discharge Height for Water from a Vertical Pipe

Discharge height for water from a vertical pipe

Vertical discharge height for water flow from a vertical oriented pipe or tube:

The vertical discharge height from a pipe can calculated as:

$h=25.4(Q/0.000555445kd^{2})^{-2}$

where

h = discharge height (mm)

Q = flow (litres / sec)

k = coefficient ranging 0.87 - 0.97

d = diameter of pipe (inches)
