If not specifically provided otherwise by local and national regulations, no wind tolerance should be applied when calculating the actual roof area to be served by gutter channels and downpipes. In this case, regulations consider t hat rain fal l s square t o t he roof and, consequently, roof area will be calculated using the following formula: H Y D R A U L I C C A L C U L A T I O N S 16 ® DIAMETER 50 63 80 100 110 125 92x57 80x80 100x100 60 113 155 320 495 545 985 273 460 862 90 68 103 213 330 363 657 164 276 552 120 56 77 160 238 262 492 137 230 460 150 42 62 128 198 218 394 110 172 345 180 34 52 106 165 182 328 82 138 276 210 28 44 91 141 156 281 68 119 238 240 25 39 80 123 136 246 61 103 206 270 22 34 71 110 121 219 54 92 184 300 20 31 64 99 109 197 49 83 166 Tab. B Table B: Select downpipe diameter based on max height of rainfall to be drained and roof area involved This chapter offers guidelines for assessing gutter system suitability to the roof areas that will be served on the basis of the wide range of products available. Using the following tables, you can evaluate on the spot which product best suits the specific micro-climatic conditions where it is to be installed. Reference values were obtained as required by the EN 12056-3:2001 standard on gravity drainage systems for rainwater evacuation. This European standard provides the method for calculating hydraulic adequacy of nonsiphonic rainwater drainage systems and sets the per formance levels required.
