Table 38

Horizontal drains are designated to flow at half full capacity under uniform flow conditions so as to prevent the generation ofpositive pressure fluctuations. A minimum of 1/4” per foot should be provided for 3” pipe and smaller, 1/8” per foot for 4”through 6”, and 1/16” per foot for 8” and larger. These minimum slopes are required to maintain a velocity of flow greaterthan 2 feet per second for scouring action. Table 41 gives the approximate velocities and discharge rated for given slopesand diameters of horizontal drains based on modified Manning Formula for 1/2 full pipe and n = 0.015. The valves for R, R2/3, A, S, S 1/2 and n are from Tables 38, 39 & 40.
