After solving for the roughness coefficient, review the Average 
Roughness value in the Confirmation Statistics section of the 
Quantity Coefficient Generator. If you are satisfied with the 
results, Store the new coefficient. If you are not satisfied with the 
results, you can generate Bestfit Roughness and Bestfit Slope 
values. Refer to Generating Bestfit Coefficients on page 4-21, for 
more information. 
Solving for an Unknown Slope
If you know the pipe roughness, the Quantity Coefficient 
Generator can solve for the unknown slope. Perform the following 
steps to solve for an unknown slope: 
Set 
Button
1. Select the Set toolbar button to display the Set All dialog.
Set all dialog
2. Select the Roughness radio button.
3. Enter the known roughness value to the dialog.
4. Select OK to exit the dialog.
The Quantity Coefficient Generator calculates slope values for 
each of the confirmations. 
After solving for the slope coefficient, review the Average Slope 
value in the Confirmation Statistics section of the Quantity 
Coefficient Generator. If you are satisfied with the results, Store 
the new coefficient. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can 
generate Bestfit Roughness and Bestfit Slope values. Refer to 
Generating Bestfit Coefficients on page 4-21, for more information.
