Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

(OP)
Does anyone know of link to a free website that has a user friendly program or spreadsheet to compute the stage storage for a horizontal sloped pipe?
Thanks

RE: Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

Would you explain the meaning of "stage storage"?

RE: Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

(OP)
Stage - storage calculations are required for stormwater management volumes. As the pipe fills up there is a loss in volume if the horizontal pipe is sloped. In my case I have a 10' dia pipe so my stage elevations would be in one foot intervals. I need the storage for each of the stage elevations.

RE: Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

"Stage Storage" means "at this elevation, the sloped pipe stores this volume, at this higher elevation it stores this much more volume, and now we make a table relating stage (elevation) to storage (volume)."


I've got an excel sheet that'll do exactly what you need.  Shoot me an email.

Bimr, Thanks for the lead but I had tried the link to ADS in the other forum and it no longer works.

RE: Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

For circular pipes FHWA's Visual Urban (HEC22 - Free DL at FHWA) has an option.  If you are using Horiz Elip pipe then you need to refer to a partial flow nomograph and creat your own stage vs. area and compute the volume.  I just had to do this for a 38x24 HERCP.

RE: Stage Storage for a horizontal sloped pipe

You can do it easily with HydroCAD - including the free Sampler.  Just create a pond with a pipe storage element and set the parameters.  It will handle round, arch, elliptical, and box pipe.
