Sizing of a catch basin for roof drains and/or water bottoms
Sizing of a catch basin for roof drains and/or water bottoms
(OP)
Is there a method to calcuate the size of a catch basin or sump for collecting roof drains or water bottoms off a storage tank? Been searching through API650 and I cannot find a general equation which relates the tank size to the size of the catch basin. Any help would be appreciated
RE: Sizing of a catch basin for roof drains and/or water bottoms
The expected flow rate is a function of the max height, the diameter of the sump / drain piping, and in the case of floating roof drains, the max rainfall rate.
