The program currently does not currently include the height of the riser pipe taht that is inserted into the fitting. This The total height of pipe including , the visible height and the portion inserted into the pipe fitting, is necessary for budgeting and purchasing. The equation should include this amount as well as an added height above the last row of holes to account for surges and sloshing. The length of pipe inserted into the pipe fitting changes with diameter of pipe and thus the calculation of total riser pipe height should be a function of the pipe diameter.

Data

The following graphical representation shows the correlation between pipe diameter and pipe length used in the pipe fitting.

code needs to be updated to include a link to the fitting database.

Future work

Update the codee to include fitting information from the pipe data base. Also add a safety factor of 20% to the top of the riser pipe to account for surges.The excel spreadsheet with the primary data is available here
