This related to water gems

Hi all I am Adhiseshan design engineer,

I need to know about Load builder method in watergems.

can any one guide me about that method.

  • Hello Sushma Choure,

    Can i define the Pipe diameter using Demand and this load builder method in water gems.

  • Please elaborate your query, what you want to achieve is not quite clear. Loadbuilder wont help you define pipe diameter. 

    First you would import demand data using one of the Loadbuilder methods, once demands ,node elevations, tank levels, pump data , reservoir levels etc. is entered in the model, you would move towards designing pipe diameters. 

    Usually the best approach to design pipe diameters is to initially size the pipes by estimating the peak flow over the life of the pipe and a reasonable maximum velocity (e.g. 2 m/s) and solve A = Q/V. That will get you a good initial estimate of the diameters. 

    Then model a number of scenarios based on different future demand growth assumptions and emergency situations to see how these sizes will work.
