Sewer Pipe Design: Individual

This command calculates the travel time, flow depth, and velocity for a section of pipe. It calculates for one pipe section using the dialog shown here. Pipe sections can be entered as upstream/downstream stations and elevations, or as length and slope. Clicking Calculate will give you Design Output data based upon your input. Follow up Calculate by clicking Report, which will give you the Standard Report Viewer. Even after reviewing the information in the viewer and clicking on the viewers' Exit button, or its other output buttons, you still have the opportunity to change your original dialog box entries. This is because the command cycles from the viewer back into the dialog box for modifications. The Draw Pipe button draws the pipe details on the screen. The Exit within the dialog ends the command.
