Add the Hazen-Williams formula for pipe flow calculations, commonly used in fire engineering.

Thanks for the comments guys. Is there anything else you would need to use h2x for your fire calculations in Australia? Or is this the only blocker at the moment?

Hi Jonathan, the Hazen Williams formula is the main thing. It would be great if there could be default node selections added to AS2419.1 (hydrant), AS2118.1 (sprinkler) and AS2441 (fire hose reels), however this isn't a deal breaker, as we can just create custom nodes to work with.
Another function that would be amazing to add would be dry pipe/pre-action systems and the ability to calculate fluid discharge times. That's probably its own topic though!

Yes please. Use of Hazen-Williams formula is an Australian Standard requirement for sprinkler system design. We are not able to rely on h2x for this calculation currently.
