Plumbing roof catchment area split calculator

Calculate area allocated to each drain and allocated area check with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use area allocated to each drain and allocated area check to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Total roof catchment area (m²)
600
Drain allocation weights (relative)
2,1,1
Area allocated to each drain (JSON)
[300,150,150]
Allocated area check (m²)
600

Try another scenario

Total roof catchment area (m²)
601
Drain allocation weights (relative)
[2, 1, 1]
Area allocated to each drain (JSON)
[300.5,150.25,150.25]
Allocated area check (m²)
601
Calculation method

Calculation method

Area allocated to each drain (JSON)

Split total roof area in proportion to entered nonnegative weights; no drain capacity calculation.

Allocated area check (m²)

Split total roof area in proportion to entered nonnegative weights; no drain capacity calculation.

Symbols and units
a
Total roof catchment area (m²)
b
Drain allocation weights (relative)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Split total roof area in proportion to entered nonnegative weights; no drain capacity calculation. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
