Plumbing sizing
OFFICER&NCO BUILDING
ANA KANDAK, AFGHANISTAN
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this report is to calculate water, sewer pipes and electric water heater sizing of OFFICER&NCO building in Kandak Afghanistan.
BUILDING COMPONENTS:
The building is a one floor barracks building
6 water closets. 6 ablutions in two lavatories 6 showers 1 janitor sink
Water pipe Sizing: The size of the water pipes is calculated according to IPC 2006, each section is labeled as shown below and calculated using the below tables 604.3, E103.3(2), E103.3(3), E103.3(4), E103.3(5), E103.3(6), figure 103.3(6). All fixtures are considered as public use WC: Water closet LAV: Lavatory SH: Shower JS: Janitor sink
Hot-Water Demand per Fixture (ASHRAE Handbook-HVAC Applications) XX (User entered data) EWH-0x (Based On the Table Titled, "Hot Water Demand per Fixture for Various Types of Buildings" for "Office Building," Final Temperature: 140 F) Water heater entering water temperature = 50.0 F 10.0 C Water heater leaving water temperature = 140.0 F 60.0 C DEMAND FACTOR = STORAGE CAPACITY FACTOR = 2.00 Fixture Qty.

Maximum possible demand = Probable maximum demand = BASIC WATER HEATER SIZE FROM ASHRAE CALCULATIONS Storage tank capacity = Heater element capacity = Sum of element capacities =
236 gph 70.8 gph 71 gph 15.6 kW 142 gal 536 l
Tank usable water before dilution = Storage tank usable capacity =
80 % 113 gal 536 l
Total usable water per hour =
184 gal
ADJUSTED WATER HEATER SIZE FROM EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE. NOTE: DECREASING HEATER ELEMENT CAPACITY WILL INCREASE TANK SIZE.
Sum of element capacities (kW) = Heater or coil capacity =
15.0 kW 68.2 gph
Storage tank capacity =
145 gal 548 l
Tank usable water before dilution = Total usable water per hour =
80 % 184 gal
The results are shown in the following table which is done according to E103.3 (1)
