A fixture unit is 1 cubic foot of water (7.48 gallons) If your using pumped drainage /soil system then for every GPM of flow rate one has to consider it as ONE FU

How do you Calculate volume of water in a closed loop using the pumps gpm?
Take the gpm of the recirculating pump and multiply by 10/2.4 equal system volume. This is used to estimate expansion tanks. It good plus or minus 10% depending on new additions
600 GPM equals CFS?
http://www.sfasoft.com/calc/103 SEEMS TO BE 449 GPM = 1 CFS SIMILIAR CONVERSIONS FOUND ON OTHER SITES
What is the friction loss in 100feet of 5 inch fire hose?
It depends on flow. 2 PSI for 500 GPM 8 PSI for 1000 GPM 18 PSI for 1500 GPM 32 PSI for 2000 GPM This is per 100' ft If your flows are big, ie. defensive conditions, you must relay for anything over a couple hundred feet in length. Capt. Ridgeway Tumwater Fire
How many gpm equals to 45 gph?
45 gph x 60 min/1 hr so multiply by 60 45 gph is 2700 gpm
What is the 500 in btu equals gpm x 500 x temperature rise?
There are 12,000 Btus per ton of cooling. In order to determine tons of cooling, the formula is: Tons = (dT x GPM) / 24 If you would like to know the tons of cooling in Btus, you would multiply this formula by 12,000.. Tons (Btu) = (dT x GPM x 12,000) / 24 Basic arithmetic yields: Tons (Btu) = (dT x GPM x 500) {12,000 / 24 = 500}
What is Water supply engineering?
calculating the size of the piping by figuring out the fixture units and gpm and pressure demands with friction loss
How many fixture units is a ac?
What is the condendsate in GPM flow and what tonnage is the unit
Hot to convert drainage fixture units to gpm?
7.48 Gal (1 CU FT) = 1 FU Or 1 GPM of pumped drainage = 1 FU The above equation that was submitted makes no sense whatsoever. Conversion of Fixture Units to gpm is non-linear; gpm per FU decreases as the total number of FU increases. I am a civil engineer, not mechanical engineer, but I know there are resources available either through International or local building codes that guide the designer.
What is fixture unit?
A fixture is 7.48 gallons which is equal to 1 cubic foot of waterAlso a fixture unit in storm drainage is roughly 3 square feet depending on pitchTo convert sanitary /waste to storm fixture units for a combined system one has to do interpolation combining all the GPM flow expected from a 10 year frequency
How do you rate fixture units?
By the flow rate in GPM .. 1 GPM pumped discharge is considered ONE FU .. Normally a fixture unit is one cubic foot of water which is 7.48 gallons. Fixture can also be used for storm drainage such as a roof and then you have to figure 3 sq ft =1 FU and a combination system one has to use interpolation to size the drainage /waste line
Should I buy a tankless water heater?
That depends on how far away is the fixture requiring hot water as a tankless has no return circulation thus your using a lot of water that cools on longer runs. It also would depend on the fixture units required ( GPM max and min flow)
What is fixturing?
A fixture is 7.48 gallons which is equal to 1 cubic foot of waterAlso a fixture unit in storm drainage is roughly 3 square feet depending on pitchTo convert sanitary /waste to storm fixture units for a combined system one has to do interpolation combining all the GPM flow expected from a 10 year frequency
What is the Flow rate of one fixture unit?
3 gpm
How do you convert KW to GPM?
Kw x 3412 / 10000 = gpm I think
How do you size a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters are sized accordingly to the demand for hot water. Typically, an average plumbing fixture requires about 2.5 GPM flow, so if you plan on running at least 2 fixtures at the same time, you will need a unit rated at 5 GPM flow.
How do you convert psi water pressure to gallons per minute?
First you need the size of the pipe and the volume of water supply. Pressure will vary during usage. Standard well system operates between 20-40 psi and city systems operate from 50-70 psi.
How to convert meters into gpm?
You need to know the linear density.
