AWWA C900 Pressure Class Pipe

Solving for outside dimension ratio.

Note: surge pressure is based on a 2 foot/second instantaneous velocity change

Inputs:

Conversions:

hydrostatic design stress (HDS)	=	=	pound/inch^2
pressure rating or class (PC)	=	=	pound/inch^2
surge pressure (P_surge)	=	=	pound/inch^2
