If there is a discrepancy, the software will flag the item and provide the specific "Call or Rule" of the TCEQ that was violated. For Example: A 1/2 SDR pipe is inputted with a 7 GPM flow rate. The software will respond in the following format; 5 LFS Violated..... Actual velocity is 5.57 LFS §344.62.Minimum Design and Installation Requirements. (d) Piping. Piping in irrigation systems must be designed and installed so that the flow of water in the pipe will not exceed a velocity of five feet per second for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe.
