Provide an object which has access to the dimensions of the HDPE pipe dimensions. There will be an option for one of the two types of pipes: SDR-11 or Schedule-40. There are nominal pipe sizes associated with each of these, the nominal size will be input; the inside and outside diameter will be returned.

Following the pipe selection and the nominal pipe size, the u-tube size will be known. The shank spacing needs to be supplied. Three shank spacing options will be provided by an A, B or C configuration from Paul's (1996) MS Thesis:

  • A configuration - the pipes are touching at the center of the borehole
  • B configuration - the pipes are evenly spaced in the borehole
  • C configuration - the pipes are touching the outside wall of the borehole

Paul, N. D. (1996). The effect of grout thermal conductivity on vertical geothermal heat exchanger design and performance.
