Kirpich’s Time of Concentration Calculator

Kirpich’s Time of Concentration Calculator

Calculate the time of concentration using Kirpich’s Equation:
\[ T_c = \frac{0.0078\, L^{0.77}}{S^{0.385}} \]

* Enter the watercourse length \(L\) (ft) and the slope \(S\) (ft/ft).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 1000 ft

Example: 0.01 ft/ft

Formula: \[ T_c = \frac{0.0078\, L^{0.77}}{S^{0.385}} \] with \(T_c\) in hours.
