FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF PROTECTO 401

The inside diameter of ductile iron pipe averages 8.25% larger than the inside diameter of most other pipes. The calculations for flow should include the larger inside diameters of ductile iron pipe.

The Manning “n” and the Hazen-Williams “C Factor” for Protecto 401 Ceramic Epoxy lined ductile iron pipe is equal to or better than cement mortar lined ductile pipe which is:

  1. 1.Manning “n” (open channel or partially-full sewers) = .011
  2. 2.C-Factor (full-flowing pressure pipe) = 140

The inside diameter of ductile iron pipe lined with the standard thickness (0.040 in. nominal) of Protecto 401 Ceramic Epoxy is listed below:
