Abstract
Kutter's formula is widely used in computations involving the hydraulics of sewers. The value of the coefficient of roughness, n, in this formula can be determined for sewers by only one method–making actual measurements of velocities (or discharges) and depths of flow in the sewers. The results of measurements made in pipes and conduits carrying clean water cannot be used for sewers without modification: however, they do afford a valuable guide. Unfortunately, records of determinations of the value of n for sewers are all too scarce. This paper presents the results of certain determinations, based on field measurements, of the value of Kutter's n for sewers partly filled.
