Design second-flow q = min(0.2·α·√Ng, 0.2·Ng) with α=1.1. Fixture equivalents (Ng): toilet 0.5, urinal 0.5, bidet 0.5, shower 0.75, bathtub 1.2, washer 1.0, lavatory 0.75, kitchen sink 1.0, floor drain 1.0. Computed inner diameter selected from GB standard sizes (steel 管材规格). Velocity v = 4000·q/(π·dj²); head loss per 1000 m by Hazen–Williams (or PP-R Colebrook-style); segment loss = hf·L/1000·(1+local factor) with local factor 0.3.
