A105.0 Size of Building Supply

Knowing the permissible friction loss per 100 feet (30 480 mm) of pipe and the total demand, the diameter of the building supply pipe shall be permitted to be obtained from Chart A105.1(1), Chart A105.1(2), Chart A105.1(3), Chart A105.1(4) Chart A105.1(5), Chart A105.1(6), or Chart A105.1(7), whichever is applicable. The diameter of pipe on or next above the coordinate point corresponding to the estimated total demand and the permissible friction loss will be the size needed up to the first branch from the building supply pipe.

FRICTION LOSS IN HEAD (pounds-force per square inch) PER 100-FOOT LENGTH

For SI units: 1 inch = 25 nun, 1 gallon per minute = 0.06 L/s, I pound-force per square inch = 6.8947 kPa, 1 foot = 304.8 nun, 1 foot per second = 0.3048 m/s

Where copper tubing or copper alloy pipe is to be used for the supply piping and where the character of the water is such that slight changes in the hydraulic characteristics are expected, Chart A105.1(1) shall be permitted to be used.

Chart A105.1(2) shall be used for ferrous pipe with the most favorable water supply in regards to corrosion and caking. Where the water is hard or corrosive, Chart A105.1(3) or Chart A105.1(4) will be applicable. For extremely hard water, it will be advisable to make additional allowances for the reduction of the capacity of hot-water lines in service.
