Calculating Wastewater Flow from an Art Museum
Calculating Wastewater Flow from an Art Museum
(OP)
I need to size a grinder pump for an Art Museum. Is there a way to estimate flows based on fixture count? Or could one use a certain gpm per square foot of building space.
Eveything I have found online references flow calcs based on residential flow.

Water Closet = 4 DFU
Sink Service = 2 DFU
Urinal Pedestal = 6 DFU
Mop Sink = 2 DFU
2 DFU = 1 GPM.
Reference: Piping Handbook
These numbers will vary somewhat on the type of fixture and the age of the fixture. Newer fixtures will use less water.
