Leakage Coefficient Guideline
|
|
|
| Leakage coefficient, N1, can vary depending on factors such as pipe material, level and type of leakage as well as the type of distribution system (residential, commercial, agricultural, etc.). For analysis purposes the following guideline can be used to select a number for N1. These N1 values are referenced from a system leakage analysis study. The user may want to enter different values for N1 if they are familiar with the leakage analysis method used and the proper coefficient value for their particular system. N1 = 1.5 is an average leakage coefficient value used for typical systems with undetectable background leakage with any pipe material. N1 = 1.0 is recommended if there is an abscence of knowledge of pipe materials and leakage level. N1 = 1.15 is a japanese standard used for their systems for the past 20 years. N1 = 1.52 was an average value determined from lab tests by Ashcroft & Taylor (Surveyor, July 1983) on artificially created leaks in plastic pipe. N1 = 2.50 maximum recognized coefficient value for systems with excessive leakage. Although some general theories reference upper coefficient values of 2.50, case studies associated with this value were not found.
