===Example calculation===
A part used roll of 100 mm diameter perforated pipe appears long enough to use for a stormwater planter project. Upon inspection the pipe is found to have perforations of 8 x 1.5 mm on six sides, repeated every 3 cm along the pipe. To calculate the maximum flow rate, first the open area per meter is calculated:
<math>\frac{0.008 m \times 0.0012 m\times6}{0.03 m }= m^{2}/m</math>
