Janna | AFT Fathom |
Minimum Diameter | 6.338 cm | 6.337 cm |
Nominal Size | 2-1/2 in | 2-1/2 in |
DISCUSSION:
The AFT Fathom model used an assigned pressure upstream and a receiving reservoir at atmospheric pressure. The only design requirement for the system was a minimum flow rate of 0.8 m3/min.
The automated sizing was a discrete sizing to minimize flow volume.
