2 Issues of Concern with Water

Daily water needs – total usage per day

University of Nebraska grow-finish• Nipples – 1.5 gal/pig/day• Cups – 1+ gal/pig/day

Instantaneous Delivery RateCan we meet the need at the moment?

Max recommended flow in plastic pipe - MWPS

Ignores friction loss due to elbows, etc. 4 ft/sec max flow

Nominal Diameter, in

Flow, gpm

40 nipple drinkers per side (2/pen x 20 pens/side)4 cups/min flow (.25 gal/min)

40 x .25 = 10 gal/min need

1” line = 5.7 gal/min flow1¼” line = 12 gal/min flow
