CONVERSIONS AND FORUMULAS

1 Cubic foot (ft3) = 7.5 gallons


1 cubic foot of water = 62.4 pounds
1 gallon of water = 8.34 pounds
1 pound per square inch (psi) = 2.31 feet of water (head)
1 foot of water (head) = .434 pounds per square inch (psi)
1 grain per gallon = 17.1 parts per million (ppm)
1 part per million (ppm) = 1 milligram per liter (mg/l)
1 pound (1 lb.) = 454 grams
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
1 meter = 3.281 feet
1 liter = 0.264 gallons
1 gallon = 3.785 liters

Continuity Equation Q=AxV where Q = rate of flow (ft3/sec)


A = cross-sectional area (ft2)
V = velocity (ft/sec)

Detention Time T=V/Q where T = detention time (sec)


V = volume (ft3)
Q = rate of flow (ft3/sec)

Pounds of pure chemical = ppm x (gallons treated) x 8.34


1,000,000

CIRCUMFERENCE AND AREA

Rectangle Circumference = (2 x L) + (2 x W)
Area =LxW

Square Circumference = 4 x L
Area =LxL

Circle Circumference = π x d
Area = π x r2 or 0.785 x d2
π = 3.14
r = d/2

Appendix D 1
Triangle A = BxH
2
B = length of base
H = height of base to tip of angle

VOLUMES AND SURFACE AREA

Rectangular Solid Volume = HxLxW


Surface Area = 2 x (L x H) +
2 x (H x W) +
2 x (L x W)

Cube Volume = LxLxL


Surface Area = 6 x L x L

Cylinder Volume = Area x height or


π x r2 x H or
0.785 x d2 x H
Surface Area = top + bottom + side =
2 x (π x r2)
+ πxdxH
π = 3.14
r = d/2

Sphere Volume = 4/3 x π x r3


Surface Area = 4 x π x r2
π = 3.14
r = d/2

Cone Volume = π/3 x r2 x H


π = 3.14
r = d/2
