1. Effective drainage capacity in the planning stage
The effective drainage capacity of all the roof drains allocated to a roof surface or roof segment is not allowed to fall short of nominal drainage required by the calculation.
*DrainStar Siphonic Calculator: Calculation/Drainage Capacity)
2. Calculation of an implemented pipework
When checking an implemented siphonic system, the actual drainage capacity of the roof drains must amount to at least 95 % of the nominal drainage.
