How much pitching for 2 PVC pipe?
That would depend on how many drainage fixture units you want to drain and which LOCAL code your using.
How do you calculate the surface area a pipe?
2*pi*radius*length measured in square units
How do calculate a slope of sewage pipe?
To calculate the slope of a sewage pipe, measure the vertical drop (rise) and the horizontal run of the pipe. The slope can be calculated using the formula: slope = rise/run. This value is often expressed as a percentage by multiplying the result by 100. For example, a slope of 1:100 means a 1% incline, where the pipe drops 1 unit vertically for every 100 units horizontally.
What formula do you use to figure out pipe displacement?
To calculate pipe displacement, you can use the formula: Displacement = π × (d/2)² × L, where d is the diameter of the pipe and L is the length of the pipe. This formula derives from the volume of a cylinder, as the pipe's cross-section is a circle. Make sure to use consistent units for diameter and length to obtain the displacement in cubic units.

How many fixture units in a 4inch horizontal pipe?
The number of fixture units that a 4-inch horizontal pipe can accommodate varies based on plumbing codes and the type of fixtures connected. Generally, a 4-inch pipe can handle around 40 to 50 fixture units, depending on factors like the length of the pipe and the specific code provisions in your area. To get an accurate assessment, it's best to consult local plumbing codes or a plumbing engineer.
How many fixtures can1.5 inch pipe vent?
That would depend on the fixture units each fixture has and the developed length of the vent piping
Fixture unit per fixture equals 1.5 what does this mean?
A "fixture unit" is used to design the pipe sizes in a plumbing system. It does not equate directly to gallons because not all of the fixtures (aka sinks, toilets, tubs etc etc) will be "running" at the same time. Each fixture is assigned a "fixture unit" load by the local authority having jurisdiction (aka the local plumbing code). These are added to together and tables are used to determine the pipe size. EG, a typical bathroom sink is assigned 1.5SWFU (supply water Fixture units) and 1.5DFU (drainage fixture units) BUT a toilet might be 2.2SWFU and 4DFU.
How do you find out what size pipe you should run for certain distances?
The plumbing code adopted by the jurisdiction in which the piping is placed will assign a "fixture unit" value to fixtures. For example, for waste and vent piping, a lavatory is usually one, a sink is usually two, a toilet usually between three and six, etc. A chart in the code book will tell how many "fixture units" can be installed on a particular size line. For example, a 2" line will usually carry 16 fixture units on a vertical pipe, 8 fixture units on a horizontal pipe, and will vent 24 fixture units. For a specific answer to your need you should consult a plumber working in your jurisdiction. And as far as "certain distances".....horizontal is self-limiting by grade, vertical is addressed by code, for example, 2" is limited to 85 feet vertical. Pressure pipe (water) is done much the same way....fixture unit values assigned to fixtures and then total fixture units allowed for each pipe size and pressure range.
How many sinks can you install in 1 waste pipe?
well kitchen sinks are set at 2 fixture units and on a 2" drain you can have 4 because horizontal 2" line can have 8 fixtures units and 2" vertical can have 16 fixture units.
How many fixture units for a domestic kitchen sink?
That would depend on local codes... I fiqure 2 fixture units and even if the code allow the use of 11/2" diameter pipe I always use 2" MIN.
What is impact of increasing supply pipe size?
On supply it lowers the velocity.... On drainage it increases the fixture units the piping can carry
How do you calulate the length of galvanized pipe?
By developed length of piping and fittings for venting and fixture units connected to it for water supply or drainage
How do you get slope for sewer pipe?
First you must calculate the fixture unints that are needed then based on the FU you can then increase the soil/ waste line to allow the needed pitch for the fixture unit value
How do you calculate the surface area a pipe?
2*pi*radius*length measured in square units
How many fixture unit is in 1.5 liters?
There is no answer as the units are incompatible and therefore not convertible. In plumbing, a Fixture Unit is equal to one cubic foot of water drained in an 1 1/4 pipe over one minute. A Fixture Unit is not a volume or a flow rate unit but a design factor.
