Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

S05 – Dimensioning of sewer network

Course subject(s) S05 – Dimensioning of sewer network

In this lecture, ass. prof. Ten Veldhuis explains how the diameters of pipes in a sewer netwerk are determined.
Sewer networks can be divided into branched and looped networks. First the calculation method for branched networks are explained, followed by the methods for looped networks, including Hardy-Cross.
In the second part of the lecture an example network is given for which flows are determined and pipe dimensioning is showed, followed by variation of pipe diameters.
