    "n" and "k" values for 6" PVC

    The Manning n depends on many factors, such as corrosion, sliming, and joint offsets, which occur in aged sewers. The Manning n for new PVC pipe is 0.009 and a mature pipe can be conservatively estimated at 0.011. http://www.vylonpipe.com/techsheets/Clay%20Pipe%20Flow%20Comparison.htm
