Plastic Pipe Flow Performance & Energy Cost Analyzer
For  Municipal Water and Sewer Piping Applications

The improved flow performance of PVC Pipe generally results in lower operational costs! This flow calculator allows the user to easily determine critical flow properties (flow rate, velocity, friction loss, etc) of thermoplastic piping systems, and facilitates a rapid comparison between alternate pipe materials.

Trenchless Carbon Calculator (NASTT)
For Municipal Water and Sewer Piping Applications

This tool allows planners in the design stage to estimate and compare carbon emissions from various trenchless technology methods versus traditional open cut excavations. GHG emission estimates are available for all construction equipment and vehicles, transport of raw materials and disruptions to local traffic.  Developed and maintained by NASTT and PW Trenchless Construction Inc.

External Pipe Load Calculator
For Municipal Water and Sewer Piping Applications

PVC Pipe is suitable for a wide range of burial depths – use this calculator to insure that the proper pipe product is selected based on external loading (soil and traffic) on buried pipelines.

Drop-Pipe Calculator
For   Water Well Applications

Certa-Lok Drop Pipe for submersible pumps is the only PVC product that can replace corrosion-prone galvanized steel pipe up to 8”. Use this calculator to determine if Certa-Lok is right for your application

Thrust Restraint Calculator (Uni-Bell)
For Municipal Water and Sewer Piping Applications

This calculator evaluates soil bearing strength and frictional resistance to determine the amount of restrained-joint pipe that must be used to provide resistance to the separation loads developed in pressurized pipelines.  Restrained-joint pipelines are often used in cases where conventional thrust block are not possible or practical. Developed and maintained by Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association.
