SDR, or Standard Dimension Ratio, means thewall thickness is directly proportional to the outsidediameter. This results in all diameters carrying the samepressure rating of 100 psi at 180 F.(Table 4)FlowGuard Gold Pipe Dimensions & WeightsSDR 11 (ASTM D 2846) Nominal Size Average OD Average IDPounds per Pounds per InchesInchesInchesFt.

A FlowGuard Gold system will usethe same size pipe that a copper system would for a typical residential INSTALLATION . For systems using largersizes, DESIGN should be based on fixture demand rates. A FlowGuard Gold system, unlike systems utilizing insert fittings for joining the pipe, offers full-bore flow. Thisresults in significantly reduced head process for establishing a limiting ormaximum flow velocity that is applicable to any pipingmaterial is not well defined. For some materials, there maybe velocities that can create abrasion or erosion, but thereis no evidence that this occurs with CPVC piping underany known operating conditions.

9 An investigation of someCPVC systems revealed that velocities of 7 to 17 feet persecond could be developed under maximum flow maximum DESIGN velocity of 10 feet per second is typicallyutilized for both hot water and cold water CTS CPVC systems(1 2" through 2") and for IPS CPVC hot and cold waterdistribution systems 4" and smaller. A DESIGN velocity of 5feet per second is typically used for IPS CPVC waterdistribution systems larger than 4". This DESIGN velocity isbased on both field experience and laboratory CPVC DESIGN velocity is different from copper, whichhas a recommended maximum DESIGN velocity of 5 feet persecond for hot water and 8 feet per second for cold system should be designed and installed utilizing goodengineering practices. To avoid water hammer, quickclosing valves are not recommended on 2" to 4" IPS watermains when the velocity exceeds 5 ft/sec.

10 It is acceptableto have quick closing valves on the smaller branch lines. Hazen-William C calculations for sizing of FlowGuard Gold pipe and fittings should becalculated using a Hazen-William C Factor of 150. Whileboth copper and CPVC use a C Factor of 150 for newsystems, as copper ages, the ID of the pipe is subject topitting and scaling causing pressure loss to increase overtime. Since a FlowGuard Gold system is not subject topitting or scaling, the C Factor will remain constant asthe system Characteristics - Pipe. The flow characteristicsof water flowing through piping systems are affected byseveral factors including system configuration, pipe sizeand length, friction at the pipe and fitting surfaces, and other factors cause a reduction in pressure(head-loss, also expressed as pressure drop) over thelength of the system. This section deals only with thehead-losses that result from frictional forces in the various sizes of CPVC pipe and following formulas were used to calculate watervelocities, head-losses and pressure drops as function offlow rates.
