Flow Regulation Formula
Flow Regulation Formula
(OP)
I need a formula or method to calculate what length of 9" pipe I need to regulate flow from a detention chamber, with a max head of 5.36 feet, to a maximum discharge of 88 litres per second?

Typically (at least in this part of the planet), detention pond release is regulated by an orifice plate or a weir. Could you explain your situation a little more as to why you would need to regulate the flow with a pipe?

We are discharging into the system of a private buisness park, which will allow 88 Litres per second to enter. They want us to use a restriction pipe to regulate the flow.
I have, since posting the query, solved the problem using the Colebrook White equation. I you have a more appropriate method I would appreciate your help.
