Formula:
The Pressure Class (PC) for AWWA C900 PVC pipe is calculated using the following formula, based on Hydrostatic Design Stress and Dimension Ratio:
PC = (2 × HDS) / (DR - 1)
Where:
- PC = Pressure Class (in psi)
- HDS = Hydrostatic Design Stress of the pipe material (in psi)
- DR = Dimension Ratio (unitless)
