Scottville, 49454 Northwest Michigan | According to my "slide rule" and calculations.... a 10 inch, single wall pipe on .5% (.005) grade can move about 32,000 gallons of water per hour. I'm not sure if your scenario of running 2/3 full requires a simple reduction of 1/3 of the 32,000. I would think it would. If so, you should be around 20,000 gallons of water per hour. As to the second part of your question.... personally, I don't think the 12 inches of submergence would cause much a reduction of flow. But I certainly could be wrong. gordon
