WORKED EXAMPLE
The example below is for a G ½ Temperature & Pressure Relief valve with a discharge pipe
(D2) having 4 no. elbows and length of 7m from the Tundish to the point of discharge.
From Table 2
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from G
½ T & P valve is 9m.
Subtract the resistance for 4 no. 22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m.
Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 5.8m.
As 5.8m is less than the actual length of 7m therefore calculate the next largest size.
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm pipe (D2) from G ½ T & P valve
equates to: 18m.
Subtract the resistance for 4 no. 28mm elbow at 1.0m each = 4m.
Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 14m
As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory.
