Application of Procedures for Testing and Evaluating Water Distribution Systems

摘要

This report is made up of eight individual papers describing solutions to specific problems in evaluating water distribution systems. The topics range from general discussions on deterioration of water systems and the need for pipe network model calibration to examples of actual reports on pipe break analysis and model calibration. Other papers give examples of how pipe roughness tested and gage calibration can be performed. Two additional papers describe criteria for selecting differential pressure measuring devices for use with pitot tubes and a computer program for determining flow rates given these differential pressure readings. Subtopics include: manometers and pipe flow.
