===Example calculation===
A part used roll of 100 mm diameter perforated pipe will be used for a stormwater planter project, where each planter will be 8 meters long. The initial design for the planters includes 750 mm depth of filter medium, 50 mm rock mulch, and a further ponding of 300 mm. Upon inspection the pipe is found to have perforations of 8 mm x 1.5 mm on six sides, repeated every 3 cm along the pipe. To calculate the maximum flow rate from each planter, first the open area of the pipe must be calculated in m<sup>2</sup>/m:

A part used roll of 100 mm diameter perforated pipe will be used for a [[stormwater planter]] project, where each planter will be 8 meters long. The initial design for the planters includes 750 mm depth of filter medium, 50 mm rock mulch, and a further ponding of 300 mm. Upon inspection the pipe is found to have perforations of 8 mm x 1.5 mm on six sides, repeated every 3 cm along the pipe. To calculate the maximum flow rate from each planter, first the open area of the pipe must be calculated in m<sup>2</sup>/m:
 
<math>\frac{0.008\ m \times 0.0015\ m\times6}{0.03\ m }= 0.0024\ m^{2}/m</math>
 
<math>\frac{0.008\ m \times 0.0015\ m\times6}{0.03\ m }= 0.0024\ m^{2}/m</math>
 
Then the maximum flow rate per planter is calculated:
 
Then the maximum flow rate per planter is calculated:
