### 10E. Looping Calculation to Increase Capacity for Liquid Flow Back to Main

This page is used to determine the looping calculation to increase capacity for liquid flow. The equations used in these calculations are shown in Table 10.1.

To carry out the Looping calculation the Percent increase in flow rate, Existing pipe diameter, Existing pipe length, and Looped line diameter of the system must be entered into their entry space. To do so use the mouse to click the curser in their entry space and input the data. Once this has been done, select Run to execute the solution.

The Percent increase in flow rate is the amount it is desired to increase the capacity of an existing pipeline system.

The Existing pipe diameter is the inside diameter of the original line, on the current existing system, before looping.

The existing pipe length is the pipe length of the original line on the current existing system before looping.

The Looped line diameter is the inside diameter of the added pipeline to the system.
