Hardy Cross Method – Sizing a Ring Main (FREE Spreadsheet)
Flow rate and friction loss in a pipe network system can be difficult to calculate. When the pipe network is in a ring main (also known as a closed-loop) formation, the calculations are extra difficult.
This difficult calculation is very common for fire hydrant ring main size designs and the ring main design calculations.
