I need help. My associate called from the job site and said,
"This building we're inspecting in Alaska had a 1/2" pipe freeze and then completely broke open at the compression ring. Water was freely running over the weekend. How many gallons per minute do you think was being dumped?"
Assume water pressure is 50 psi (it was a commercial building located in the city) Given the equation, we can always adjust if we find out it should be 60 psi or something else.
Assume it was clean water
How do I simply calculate the rate water was being lost?
Thanks in advance for your help!
