Default Values and Units in InfoSewer SA and InfoSewer
The following tables summarize the default values used by InfoSewer SA Pro in lieu of user-supplied values and units. Table 2.1 lists default parameter values while Table 2.2 lists input parameter units.
“Flow units” in the second table can correspond to either cubic feet per second (the default), gallons per minute (gpm), million gallons per day (mgd), imperial million gallons per day (imgd), acre-feet per day (afd), cubic meters per hour (cmh), cubic meters per day (cmd), million liters per day (mld), liters per second (lps), or liters per minute (lpm).
