Manning full-bore gravity flow

Full-circular-pipe Manning capacity. Default n = 0.009 is a common smooth-plastic reference. Partial-flow hydraulics need a separate analysis.

V = (1/n) · R2/3 · S1/2   |   R = D/4 (full bore)

Assumptions

  • Uniform full-bore flow; not surcharge or pressurized sewer.
  • 0.75 m/s is a common educational self-cleansing checkpoint — project specs may differ.
  • Link to ALFA gravity products only after confirming SN/class with ALFA.

Frequently asked questions

What information is needed to quote Manning Gravity?

Standard, size/pressure class, jointing system, quantities/lengths, fittings list, delivery location, and any submittal/test requirements from the specification.

Can I substitute one pipe standard for another at the same nominal size?

Not without review. Dimensions, pressure classes, and test methods differ across standard families.
