Hi,i try to simulate pipe breake event in scada connect simulator and i found the table for leak size in water gems users help(page 664-pipe breake-leake size).i wanna find out what's the source of this table and the equation to calculate leakage size for difrent flow and pressure.
How to calculate leakage is specified in Advanced water distribution modeling and management book, page no. 462.
As per the book,
About source of the Pipe Break - Leak Size table specified in user's guide, please allow us some time to track internally and get back. It must be from a manual providing guidelines to modelers.

The intent of that table is to help someone in the field estimate how much water is flowing out of an existing leak. for example, if you se a leak and it's about as much as you'd get from a garden hose, then. it's probably around 1 L/s.
How are you planning to use this information?
