In a roof drainage system you have many components.
Drain pipe sizing gpm.
Checks the capacity of drain tile on existing drainage systems.
0 gallons 0 cubic feet.
0 gallons per minute gpm 0 cubic feet per second cfs peak runoff volume.
Designers specify compliance with bs en 12056 3 2000 that includes a calculation for the allowable capacity of the rainwater pipes.
The sizing of the roof drainage system must consider all components.
The pipe sizing is only one component.
For example in the u k.
That is what is wrong.
Sizes the piping needed on the acreage to.
To size the vertical roof drain for the same parameters 5 000 square feet of room area and 6 per hour of rain consult table 1106 2 figure 3.
Example capacity of a sewer pipe the capacity of a 4 inch sewer pipe with decline 0 5 is aprox.
Sewage pipe capacity si units liter per second note.
Pipe grates and covers.
This calc is mainly for pipes full with water at ambient temperature and under turbulent flow.

That said we put together the following tables to serve as general guides for estimating a pipe s water flow capacity.
Nds pop up drain emitters.
If the cunduit is not a full circular pipe but you know the hydraulic radius then enter rh 4 in diameter.
The steeper the grade of the installed pipe the more water it will carry.
The roof drain or gutter or drain piping or downspout leader size diameter other size constraints e g.
Drainage pipe required minimum diameter.
A particular pipe size on a given grade will only carry a certain amount of water.
Water flow gpm gph based on pipe size and inside outside diameters.
If you know the slope rather than the pipe length and drop then enter 1 in length and enter the slope in drop.
The prinsco drainage calculator estimates the capacity of tile drainage systems.
