Abstract

In spite of the fact that computers are taking over increasing amounts of the engineer's computational work, selecting pipe sizes for water distribution systems remains a process based on rules of thumb and trial and error. Computerized procedures for sizing distribution system pipe are becoming available, but acceptance is limited because few optimization models are available as user‐friendly tools that can be easily applied by engineers. This article describes a computer program developed by the authors that follows the conventional trial‐and‐error approach to pipe sizing.
