V = R3 S 2 n = Manning's coefficient (0.013)
n R = hydraulic radius (ft)
S = slope (ft/ft)

Instructions for Spreadsheet:

• Font in blue denotes input from the plans and specifications.
• "Check for Slope*" column in the Slope tab is set for an 8" pipe with a minimum slope of 0.004 ft/ft. The equation can be changed to reflect the appropriate
pipe size according to the chart located on this page.
• Citations from the proposed amendment to 10 CSR 20-8.120 will be effective February 29, 2012.
• To add more rows to the tables developed, highlight the last row in the table. Place the cursor on the right, bottom corner of the last highlighted cell, click
on this position and drag down to create more rows. This will maintain the formatting and equations embedded in the cells.
