How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the diameter, cover thickness, and manhole depth in millimeters.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
- View the results and chart below the calculator.
Formula & Methodology
The invert level (IL) can be calculated using the formula:
IL = (D/2) – CT – MD
Where:
- D = Diameter of the chamber
- CT = Cover thickness
- MD = Manhole depth
