    Doing a fairly large but pretty simple drip system thing in the garden some excel things for it beforehand just so everything is clear. Flow rates, pressure etc. etc… basically turning the tap on into a bucket.

    Anyway measured the flow rate from the garden tap and was wondering can you get flow rate (like litres per minute) from the garden tap if you just know pressure and pipe size.

    Couldn’t find an easy tool on the web to convert kPa to litres per minute so i chucked in this guy just to check the real world measurements:

    That mf predicted my garden tap flow rate in mfing 1730’s to within a litre!

        Honestly i was just so amazed he nailed it back then.

        I tested a few other indoor taps and he was bang on.

        made me a bit sad i’m never going to be that smort though.
