A.1 Rainfall Rates for Cities
rib ut
io n
The rainfall rates in Table A.1, RAINFALL RATES FOR CITIES, are based on U.S. Weather Bureau Technical Paper No. 40, specifically Chart 14: 100-YEAR 1 HOUR RAINFALL (inches) and Chart 7: 100-YEAR 30-MINUTE RAINFALL (inches). The data in Chart 7 were multiplied by 0.72 to determine the rainfall for a 15-minute period, then multiplied by 4 to establish the corresponding rainfall rate in inches per hour. The flow rates in gallons per minute (gpm) were established by dividing the inches per hour by 12 to determine cubic feet per hour per square foot, then multiplying by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot to determine gallons per hour per square foot, then dividing by 60 minutes per hour to determine the equivalent gallons per minute.
A.2 Roof Drainage
rD ist
Primary roof drainage systems are sized for a 100-year, 60-minute storm. Secondary roof drainage systems are sized for a more severe 100-year, 15-minute storm. The rainfall rates in Table A.1 should be used for design unless higher rates are established locally.
A.3 Sizing by Flow Rate
Fo
Storm drainage systems may be sized by stormwater flow rates, using the appropriate GPM/SF of rainfall listed in Table A.1 for the local area. Multiplying the listed GPM/SF by the roof area being drained (in square feet) produces the gallons per minute (gpm) of required flow for each drain inlet. The flow rates (gpm) can then be added to determine the flows in each section of the drainage system. Required pipe sizes can be determined from Table 13.6.1 and Table 13.6.2.
A.4 Sizing by Roof Area
No t
Storm drainage systems may be sized using the roof area served by each section of the drainage system. Required pipe sizes can be determined from Table 13.6.1 and Table 13.6.2. Using this method, it may be necessary to interpolate between the various listed rainfall rates (inches per hour). To determine the allowable roof area for a listed size pipe at a listed slope, divide the allowable square feet of roof area for a 1” rainfall rate by the listed rainfall rate for the local area. For example, the allowable roof area for a 6” drain at 1/8” slope with a rainfall rate of 3.2 inches/hour is 21400/3.2 = 6688 square feet.

Table A.5 lists the discharge capacity of various width rectangular roof scuppers with various heads of water. The maximum allowable level of water on the roof should be obtained from the structural engineer, based on the design of the roof.

A.1 Rainfall Rates for Cities
rib ut
io n
The rainfall rates in Table A.1, RAINFALL RATES FOR CITIES, are based on U.S. Weather Bureau Technical Paper No. 40, specifically Chart 14: 100-YEAR 1 HOUR RAINFALL (inches) and Chart 7: 100-YEAR 30-MINUTE RAINFALL (inches). The data in Chart 7 were multiplied by 0.72 to determine the rainfall for a 15-minute period, then multiplied by 4 to establish the corresponding rainfall rate in inches per hour. The flow rates in gallons per minute (gpm) were established by dividing the inches per hour by 12 to determine cubic feet per hour per square foot, then multiplying by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot to determine gallons per hour per square foot, then dividing by 60 minutes per hour to determine the equivalent gallons per minute.
A.2 Roof Drainage
rD ist
Primary roof drainage systems are sized for a 100-year, 60-minute storm. Secondary roof drainage systems are sized for a more severe 100-year, 15-minute storm. The rainfall rates in Table A.1 should be used for design unless higher rates are established locally.
A.3 Sizing by Flow Rate
Fo
Storm drainage systems may be sized by stormwater flow rates, using the appropriate GPM/SF of rainfall listed in Table A.1 for the local area. Multiplying the listed GPM/SF by the roof area being drained (in square feet) produces the gallons per minute (gpm) of required flow for each drain inlet. The flow rates (gpm) can then be added to determine the flows in each section of the drainage system. Required pipe sizes can be determined from Table 13.6.1 and Table 13.6.2.
A.4 Sizing by Roof Area
No t
Storm drainage systems may be sized using the roof area served by each section of the drainage system. Required pipe sizes can be determined from Table 13.6.1 and Table 13.6.2. Using this method, it may be necessary to interpolate between the various listed rainfall rates (inches per hour). To determine the allowable roof area for a listed size pipe at a listed slope, divide the allowable square feet of roof area for a 1” rainfall rate by the listed rainfall rate for the local area. For example, the allowable roof area for a 6” drain at 1/8” slope with a rainfall rate of 3.2 inches/hour is 21400/3.2 = 6688 square feet.
