Page 1 of 12 Livestock Watering Order No. January 2006 Understanding Gravity-Flow Pipelines water Flow, Air Locks and Siphons This Factsheet discusses the problems and solutions of gravity flow pipe system design. Calculating water flow, pipe size, Understanding air locks, and using siphons are covered. Examples and references are given. When looking at energy options available to use when designing a livestock watering system, if gravity energy is available at the site it is usually the first to be considered because it is free energy to: move water in a pipeline (refer to Factsheet # in this Handbook series) provide pressure to a trough frost-protect a trough (refer to Factsheet # in this Handbook series) While water will flow-down-hill , gravity Pipelines have some specific requirements for trouble-free operation. The energy due to gravity at a site is equal to the elevation difference between points, such as between the water supply and the trough site.
understanding gravity water flow in pipes. See the reference material for more detail. Continuity of Flow Principle. This states that for constant water flow in a pipe, flow in one part of a pipe is equal to flow at any other part of the pipe, as shown by: …
