How do you size a water main?

Three Steps to Sizing Plumbing Piping Systems

Add up the total number of water supply fixture units (wsfu) required in the facility.
Estimate demand using the table from the IPC that correlates wsfu to expected demand.
Size the pipe using demand vs. friction loss curves found in the IPC charts.

How do you determine the appropriate pipe size for water distribution in buildings?

Determine average minimum pressure in the street main. This can be obtained from Water Company or by test. Calculate the loss of pressure in the pipes using the computed equivalent length of the pipe. Finally, select the size of the pipe using Figure 4.

Are there different sizing systems for plumbing pipes?

If the legacy of sizing isn’t confusing enough, consider that pipes have been sized differently over the years depending on the specific sizing system:

How big is a 2 inch water supply line?

But in terms of area, the inside area of these size pipes (water supply tubing) is a difference of about 56% greater. As another example let’s compare 1 1/2″ pipe to 2″ pipe. The difference in area inside an 1 1/2″ pipe compared to a 2″ pipe is around 77%.
