Standard Metric Pipe Sizes

[TerryStringer]

There have been a lot of discussions around std. metric pipe sizes and Hydraflow Storm Sewers. For the record, Hydraflow can accept any pipe size. However, when invoked to design, it will select a US customary size and soft convert. Those can be edited of course.

Now then, can those of you who have posted here please reply with a list of your desired std. metric pipe sizes? Be sure to indicate your location.

Thank you,

Hi Terry

Swedish pipe sizes

Concrete dim mm : 150, 225, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800,1000, 1200, 1400, 1600,
1800, 2000,
2200, 2500 and 2700.

Plastic (PVC) dim mm: 110, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400,450, 500, 560 and 600

Wouldn´t it be better if you read the Parts List from Civil3D because it
must be thoose pipes when you export back from Hydraflow to Civil3D to work
properly.

Yes, that is possible but ideally Hydraflow needs to be able to operate without strict dependence on another application. Often times the software is run stand-alone.

Thanks for the size information.

Would anyone else care to share their std. pipe sizes?

Hi Terry,

You will get full details of the typical pipes used in Australia at:

http://www.rocla.com.au/SRC_Pipes.php

http://www.humes.com.au/ProdsServices/

http://www.jameshardiefrcpipes.com.au/

In general Reinforced concrete pipes are made in metricised 3" (75mm)
increments from 9" (225mm) up to about 10 feet (3000mm)

Fibre cement pipes are made in similar sizes with a mximum of 750mm

We also use the "Armco" range of corrugated metal pipes in the American
sizes and a range of other pipe materials - some of which you will get from
the Humes site.

The pipe sizes in New Zealand are the same as others have mentioned above. All though the
sizes mentioned are the nominal call sizes the actual internal diameter varies from these sizes
Attached is a spreadsheet summary of the typical nominal sizes and internal diameters for one
supplier.

I have been able to use Hydraflow by having my civil3d pipe catologue having the extact internal pipe diameters
that match what Hydraflow outputs into the landxml file and changing the diameter Inner variable to millimeter from
centimeter.

Can you tell me if more standard imperial standards can be added to the storm.ini file
to appear in the program or if the sizes are hard coded.

To me it would make more sense to load custom pipe diameters from an .ini file. That makes less work for you guys
and means people can load what pipe ID's the want for design.
