The Sutherland Shire Council Urban Drainage Manual (1992) includes information documenting pit grate and lintel capacity information,. The information was derived from Department of Main Roads field tests. The informationInformation relevant to TUFLOW modelling is summarised below.
 
The Sutherland Shire Council pit guidelines are based on the standardised design shown below:<br>

The guideline states, the capacity of a pit depends on three factors:
 
* The area of clear opening of the grate
The guideline states, the capacity of a pit depends on three factors:
* theThe depth of water ponding over the grate <br>
* the length of lintel opening
* theThe arealength of clearlintel opening of the grate
The following graphs summarise grate and lintel flow estimates for a range of water depths and blockage factors. <br>
* the depth of water ponding over the grate <br>
The guideline provides information used to derive the below unit area and unit length capacity charts. <br>

The above graphs estimate unit length and area flow estimates. These unit values are multiplied by real pit dimensions to define at site depth/flow characteristics. An example is provided below for a single pit location. TUFLOW modelling requires the derivation of a unique depth/flow curve for each pit type within the modelled area. <br>
A pit inlet curve is derived by
