Pressure at Head of Lateral
The Pressure requirements (P
L
)where the Lateral
joins the Mainline or Submain are determined as
follows:
P
L
= Pa + 0.75 P
f
+ Pr For laterals laid on
Flat land
P
L
= Pa + 0.75 (P
f
Pe) + Pr For Laterals on
gradient.
The factor 0.75 is to provide for average operating
pressure (Pa) at the centre of the Lateral rather
than at the distal end. Pr is the height of the riser.
