When you choose Vodaland's, you're opting for advanced drainage solutions that prioritize efficiency, safety, and long-term preservation. Whether it's our pre-sloped trench drainage systems, pre-slope concrete channels, our pre-slope stainless steel system, or any of our other trench drains to experience the transformative quality that our products are known for.

For drive channel systems, we offer a drive trap, while our Sand Trap 4" Channel connection suits other 4-inch internal channels. If you have any questions about our inline sand traps, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

These same values are included in the pipe flow calculator. By changing the Material variable of the calculator, you can see different values for the pipe Roughness coefficient.

The flow in a piping system is largely determined by the available energy and the losses in the pipes. This energy could be provided by gravity or/and by a pump.

The pipe roughness coefficient (C) is dependent on the material. Below you can find the values for this coefficient for different materials:

For the Hazen–Williams equation, we need the values of conversion factor kkk, roughness coefficient CCC, hydraulic radius RRR, and the slope of the energy line SSS.

With a wide variety of options available, including various widths and load classes, as well as several gratings types, including brass, stainless steel, ductile iron frames and more, you are sure to find the right match for your application. Here are just some of the ways our pre-sloped drainage system options can be use:

Industrial settings require the most durable solutions due to the high load and harsh conditions. Concrete pre-sloped trench drain kits are the most heavy-duty option available, suitable for load classes up to Class E (132000 LBS). These systems are designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, managing large volumes of water and resisting the wear and tear from heavy machinery and vehicles.

A. Installation brackets are highly recommended as they ensure that the top surface remains level and the channels stay securely in place during the concrete pour in order to facilitate secure alignment and a smooth surface finish.

A. It depends on the depth of your channel. Carefully read the title and description of each end cap to determine the best fit. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us.

In residential garages or automotive repair shops, pre-sloped garage channel drains are great for managing water ingress. A Class B (27500 LBS) or Class C (55000 LBS) load rating is often recommended here, considering the weight of vehicles and light machinery. These systems help prevent water from pooling, which can lead to slips or damage to the garage's structure.

The Hazen–Williams equation is an empirical formula used to calculate water's velocity in a gravity-fed system. In contrast to Darcy–Weisbach's equation, Hazen–Williams has the advantage that it doesn't require an iterative calculation or guessing the friction factor or Reynolds' number.

Notice that the Hazen–Williams equation has some constraints (besides water only), making the results relatively accurate only for:

Explore our diverse selection of advanced pre-sloped trench drain systems. Designed for optimal flow rates and efficiency, these solutions prevent water accumulation and potential hazards. With a variety of size and grate options to choose from, you are sure to find the right pre-sloped trench drain for your needs.

Driveways are particularly vulnerable to water damage and erosion. Pre sloped driveway drains and pre sloped driveway trench drains are designed to capture and redirect water efficiently, preventing it from pooling and causing damage to the driveway or adjacent landscaping. For residential driveways, a Class B (27500 LBS) load rating suffices, but for driveways used by heavier vehicles, Class C (55000 LBS) offers additional durability.

A. Yes, absolutely. All you need is one of our schedule 40 PVC adapters. We have them both for 3-inch PVC and 4-inch PVC.

A pipe made of steel, with a diameter of 2.5 inches, with a length of 18 feet, and a difference in heights of 3 feet. Let's do the math:

This empirical equation, exclusively applicable to water, allows calculating the velocity or the head loss of a gravity flow. If you'd like to learn more about the Hazen–Williams equation's parameters and how to calculate water flow rate and velocity for yourself, we invite you to continue reading.

In the case of gravity-fed systems, only gravity is used to transport water (or other fluid) from a source to a final application. The only energy available in these systems is supplied by the difference in heights between the source, usually an atmospheric tank placed at a higher altitude and the system's lowest altitude point. In these cases, the flow of a fluid is referred to as gravity flow.

We provide an exclusive industrial sealant that is produced and dispatched in house. This sealant is an excellent solution for connecting channels together and ensuring a watertight seal for all pipe outlets.

A numerical example is the best way to understand how to use the Hazen–Williams equation to determine the velocity and flow of water. Assume we need to calculate the velocity and flow rate in a system with the following characteristics:

No matter your needs, we have a pre-sloped trench drain kit for your needs. By selecting the appropriate system—whether it's for a residential garage or an industrial complex—you can manage water effectively and prevent damage.

To calculate the hydraulic radius RRR, divide the cross-sectional area (A=π⋅r2) (A = \pi \cdot r^2)(A=π⋅r2) of the pipe by the wetted perimeter (P=2⋅π⋅r)(P = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot r)(P=2⋅π⋅r):

For indoor environments, pre-sloped floor drains are indispensable. A pre-sloped drainage channel is ideal for areas prone to water spillage or needing efficient water evacuation, such as laundry rooms, basements, or commercial kitchens. These systems often require a moderate load class, with Class A (3300 LBS) being sufficient for pedestrian traffic.

Use our pipe flow calculator to determine the velocity and flow rate of water that flows by gravity. This tool employs the gravitational form of the Hazen–Williams equation to calculate velocity in a pipe.

With its quick drying time and professional-grade quality, you won't have to wait for rubber or silicone to bond over the course of a day or two.

This equation only applies to water, and it calculates the velocity of the water by relating the geometric properties of the pipe and the slope of the energy line. The Hazen–Williams equation or pipe velocity equation is given by:

We recommend positioning our 4-inch inline sand traps at the end of your drainage setup to capture any remaining debris. These traps are compatible with any of our 4-inch internal channels and are included with the selected package's grating and sediment trap.

Pre-sloped trench drains are an essential component for effective water management across various settings. With applications ranging from residential to industrial, our systems were created with easy installation in mind, and they can be tailored to meet specific needs.

🙋 In the Advanced mode of the pipe flow calculator, you can find or input other parameters such as area, perimeter, hydraulic radius, and the slope.
