About This Tool

Peak Water Demand Calculation per BS 6700 Standards

This professional-grade calculator determines peak water demand flows (L/s and m³/hr) for plumbing systems using BS 6700 methodologies. Essential for:

Accurate sizing of water supply pipes and pumps
Compliance with British Standard water supply regulations
Preventing system undersizing/oversizing in commercial and residential buildings

Key Applications

Plumbing System Design

Calculate fixture unit loads for entire buildings with BS 6700 compliant results.

Hydraulic Calculations

Determine peak flow rates for pump selection and pipe network design.

This tool incorporates all standard BS 6700 fixture data including:

WC cisterns (0.15 L/s) Shower heads (0.2 L/s) Commercial sinks (0.3 L/s) Flush valves (1.2 L/s)

Engineers and plumbing designers use this calculator to ensure compliance with UK building regulations Part G and international water supply standards.
