Pipe minimum slope

How is the minimum slope determined by the program? I used N=0.013 from Manning's nomograph and I am get different values for the minimum slopes. The min slope for a 12" pipe should be at 0.44%, but the program set it at 0.37% What other variables control this? Edited by: davevoith on Oct 28, 2008 2:06 PM

Nevermind I found it under the physical section for each structure. Wasn't aware that this was there also.

Dave -

Are you referring to Hydraflow? or Civil 3d?

Hydraflow doesn't set minimum slopes of pipes based only on slope. It
typically is setting it based on design velocity. If you meet the
design velocity at 0.37% it doesn't change it to 0.44% unless the
overall system's minimum slope is set 0.44%.
