The document provides information on sizing water supply pipes including:
1) A process for sizing pipes involving determining loading units, flow rates, pipe sizes, head losses, and effective pipe lengths.
2) A sample pipe sizing calculation showing loading units, assumed pipe sizes, head losses per meter, and cumulative head calculations.
3) The residual head is compared to the available head to confirm pipe sizes and ensure pressures are sufficient. Pipe sizes may need to be adjusted if residual heads are too low.
