Discharge Height Vertical Pipes

Height of water discharging from vertical pipes

Vertical discharging height of water from vertical oriented pipes or tubes are indicated below:

Vertical discharge height from a pipe can be expressed as:

h = (Q / 5.68 k d²)^1/2         (1)

where

h = discharge height (inches)

Q = flow (gpm)

k = coefficient ranging 0.87 - 0.97

d = diameter of pipe (inches)
