[@carlwebinar1571]

Cody, you can't figure water flow just by the area of the opening (in effect the number of SQ inches of a 12" opening half way filled) because you have to know the rate of flow. It could be at a standstill (standing water) or the flow could be at several mph. That determines the capacity of water flow.

It's as simple as knowing the ratio of Head Water depth to Diameter. 24" diameter with 12" headwaters depth is about 4 cfs. Some variance will be a result of the inlet geometry being what it is versus a known control.

A question perfectly crafted for KZbin comment banter. Give partial info... and a bunch of worthless answers you shall receive (no offense Mr. Wranglerstar)! This is probably the right methodology, but... We need to know the pipe material (looks like CMP, but hard to see) and the slope of the pipe to give you a respectable answer. We'd also need to confirm that the inlet is not submerged, which tells us if we're analyzing pressure flow or free flow. Well played good sir.

I live in a terraced house in England. I can’t relate to the house, garden, workshop, American spelling or pronunciation, or a few dozen other things. But I can relate to you, Cody because I recognise you are a man who loves The Lord, who wants to pursue Him, and his calling to run your family by biblical principles to the best of your ability, with humility and humour thrown in.

This is one of the best comments I’ve ever read on KZbin. Thanks, Nigel. Edit: Sometimes I have no idea what he’s saying either, and I’ve lived in nearly every region of the US except the West Coast. There’s just something different about those folks. 😂

[@nigelwylie01]

A Terraced House is one unit in a row of houses all built together as one structure. Usually built in many rows, sometimes on hillsides, giving the appearance of a terraced plantation (hence the name) they were originally built to house labourers, but now are quite a common way to build, because they cut down building costs, and therefore housing costs. They mean everyone gets a garden (yard) even if it is little, and often just concrete. They vary a lot. Many were destroyed after the war (slum clearances) and replaced by 1950s & 60s housing estates, some with high-rise accommodation. Many of these have been pulled down already because of terrible design flaws. Many more should be. So on balance, terraced houses are a reasonable way to have a roof over your head. England is one of the most densely populated Western nations, so watching Wranglerstar is quite extraordinary to me. There are properties with land like that in Southern England, but they are mainly castles or stately homes. The sort of place you pay to visit at the weekend! U.K. population Density is 281people per square km (I know, neither UK nor US use Km, but that is the units worldometers website uses). If you take Scotland & Wales out of that statistic, which have huge land areas and very small populations, that figure would rise sharply for England alone. US is 36.

[@nigelwylie01]

@@craigmooring2091 ah, well there is another name for the really fancy ones like some of those you see in the city centres of the UK. I’m imagining the ones you may have seen from your coach window, and if they were more than two stories high, they may have housed several apartments, one on top of another. In London these are called Mansion Houses. They have always been very high-end accommodation. Other areas of the UK have different styles, developed, as they did over hundreds of years. In Scottish cities there are Tennement Blocks. These were originally very lower class accommodation, housing many families per apartment, with no facilities. However today, they are very highly regarded, and sought after. Obviously they now have the full range of services, but because they were so well built, they are now really expensive to buy. Other cities have other names for different styles. Your tour guide was sadly trying to make a joke at your expense to disguise his ignorance at a rich seam of history.

The flow in a 50% full 24" pipe... as a senior in civil engineering school, this could be calculated if we knew the velocity or pressure at a point. Then it would be a simple Bernoulis equation. The slope also matters in the velocity Estimating some variables, I was getting about 0.74 cubic feet a second. But the variables I used are probably different than the pipe we saw in the video. We can figure the volume of water in the pipe if we knew the length. Say it was 15 foot across the driveway. Which would be 23.562 at 50% capacity. Which is very efficient, because max efficiently is 60% flow of pipe. Any more and the velocity slows down and the laminar flow can become turbulent. The material of the pipe and the age of the pipe has its own friction coefficient to calculate headless and the velocity lost from friction. Plus the time of concentration to that area matters which is a whole new system using Mannings equation. I love water so thanks for letting me geek out. Looks great Cody!

[@metals_etched]

Very interested in seeing you go to the dealership and checking out what they have. If you get a skid steer loader, You definitely want tracks not tires. Somebody mentioned the heat and AC in the cab, that’s also a good idea. I learned to drive one when I was 23 working for a landscaping company. You get used to the pedals, joy sticks and switches pretty quick

[@vernonpeterson4021]

Bought first Bobcat in 91. Now on the 5th. Started with a 45 hp, then 60 and last 3 have 75 hp. Since I use a backhoe attachment with rear stabilizers, I choose a machine with tires. Always get inset tires so I can fit in tight places. Both have their purpose. I would take a track machine too, but would never do without my tire machine. Air con. not necessary if you take the door off in summer. Plus, can't use the hoe attachment with the door on. Heat is a must! Most, most, most important is a suspension seat if you want to keep your back in good shape. Also wear a back brace if you are doing any travel with bumps. You will feel better at the end of the day. You probably know all of this, but I thought I would add to the conversation.

[@espifer123]

A 24" pipe full at 5' /sec the flow is approx. 7100gpm. If you divide that in half = 3550 gpm. I would guess they are moving pretty close to 5' /sec. So, my guess is 3500gpm.

While looking at a tracked 'skid steer', Be sure to look at the "4-way" bucket.

Since the pressure is at half capacity of a 24 inch culver, I'd guess close to 700 gallons per minute, so you probably will have 320,000 gallons of water in your field after letting it flow for eight hours, that's a lot of water, but then again, it depends on the area.

[@fcernst]

You have to know the culvert pipe slope..If we assume the culvert is sloped at 0.5% then 4.73 cfs or 2,121 gpm at 1 foot flow depth.

[@gexploits]

I ended up doing the same thing over the past year, I decided it was best to buy (used on my budget) the equipment myself, dump truck, bigger backhoe, skid steer, etc) and just sell what I'm not going to need later when my projects are done. It's been impossible to line up contractors.

[@TheLLentini]

Did some basic(ish) maths, made some simple assumptions like pipe slope (a slight 3 inch drop) & length (homestead driveway width worthy of ~25ft). worked out to around ~7,500 gallons per minute with a 24inch culvert flowing at 50%.

Depends on the pipe, smooth wall pvc that size would do about 391 gpm, corrugated could be as low as 89 gpm. The overall volume of what it could hold is about 20 gallons for a 6" 10' culvert.

Hey Cody, just guessing your slope on your field is at @ 1.25"/100 ft. A 12" culvert at full flow will run @ 4 cfs or 1795 gpm so, half the flow on the culvert would be @ 897.6 gpm or 2 cfs.

[@Jamestreeman]

I would recommend removing the dump trailer doors. I have several in my biz. First decent one bought in 2007 and still in service. Point is people don’t hook the door chains up good or forget all together and you dump and the doors support the trailer and it bends everything into a mess. Your living in a remote area so an unsecured load is likely not a problem and you can toss them on if need be

[@treyhart6861]

How many gallons a half of a 24" culvert can flow per minute or hour depends on how fast the water is flowing. BUT one linear ft of a half filled 24" culvert equals 5.87 gallons. Now just figure out how many feet per minute or hour it's flowing.
