Roof Drain GPM Calculator
Roof drain flow in GPM comes from design rainfall and tributary roof area, then gutters, downspouts and downstream piping must pass the same runoff.

Calculator path
- 1 Gutter and downspout calculator Primary page for the main search intent.
- 2 Check catch basin sizing Supporting formula or reference page.
- 3 Pipe pressure drop calculator Darcy-Weisbach loss, head and velocity from flow and pipe ID.
- 4 Pipe size by flow velocity pick a first-pass pipe ID from flow and target velocity.
- 5 Pump flow and HP calculator pump displacement, pressure, flow, kW and horsepower.
Runoff flow
Q = i * A * C * F
Gutter capacity
Q = (1 / n) * A * Rh^(2/3) * S^(1/2)
Downspout screen
Q = open area * target velocity
