A compact, practical guide to hydraulic calculations for engineers.
This edition gathers essential rules and tables to help you size pipes, jets, fountains, canals, and water systems with confidence. The work focuses on real‑world methods, balancing theoretical formulas with actionable guidance suitable for everyday engineering tasks.
Explore topics from discharge and velocity of efflux to the effects of friction in long mains, and learn how to apply tables and diagrams to design and analysis. It also covers the strength and proportions of water pipes, rainfall considerations, and practical aspects of heating and distributing water.
- Clear rules for velocity, discharge, and jet paths with practical examples
- Guidance on fountains, jets, culverts, and open channels
- Methods for calculating friction losses in long pipes and mains
- Technical details on pipe strengths, pipe weights, and rainfall considerations
Ideal for engineers, architects, and students who need a ready, reference-style toolkit for hydraulic calculations and system design.
