===Example 1 - Outgoing Conduit Losses===
The loss coefficient for the outgoing pipe represents the losses due to the incoming angle of the upstream conduit, any drops in inverts levels between the incoming and outgoing conduits, bend losses and any additional form losses. It is calculated as follows:<br>
[[File:K outletpipe.PNG]]<Br>
The default value of K<sub>Bend_max</sub> is set to 4 but can be changed via the 1d_mh K_Bend_Max attribute. As shown above we have no angle for the incoming pipe and no drop in invert levels. Table 1 shows the K_Fixed is equal to 2 and the outgoing pipe has a form loss coefficient, to represent bend losses of 1. Therefore K<sub>outletpipe</sub> is:
