Flow Rates Using The Taskmaster® Hydraulic Flow Charts • Find the required flow along the bottom of the chart. • Project up from this point to intersect with the flow line. • Project left from this intersection to read upstream head value for flow. • Calculate Headloss (Upstream Head - Expected Downstream Head). Head Upstream Inches Water • If headloss is greater than 6 inches (150mm) the charted upstream head value can be used. Head Upstream MM Water • If calculated headloss is less than 6 inches, then calculate Upstream Head as Downstream Head + 6 inches (150 mm). (Corrected headloss...
