determine the peak flow from equation (12.13); and
calculate the minimum sewer gradient from equation (12.10) with q 1.1 1/s (see Sinnatamby, 1986), and ensure that the actual sewer gradient is not less than this.
Table 12.2 is only valid for the choice of parameter values made. For ease of reference, these are:

d/D = 0.6

g = 9.81 m/s3
For any other value(s), an equation similar to equation (12.14) has to be derived, and Table 12.2 recalculated for any desired range of sewer size.
