96년판 NSPC(National standard plumbing code)의 내용 중 급수 및 배수 관경을 결정하는데 사용하는 기구 급배수부하 단위표가 이전에 발행된 것과 내용이 많이 수정되어 소개코져 한다. 주된 변경 내용은 절수형 위생기구 사용에 따른 급배수 부하 단위 변경, 건물용도별 상세한 내용 분류 및 새로운 위생기구의 추가 등이다.

Fixture units and the diversity curve are used, in order to determine the required size of water supply pipe. However, the values of the National Plumbing Code, International Plumbing Code and National Standard Plumbing Code of America are not the same. The objective of this study is to comparatively analyze the fixture units and the peak flows of a 10th story office building, at any instant of time, according to the three codes.

Determining the simultaneous flow rate in any particular section of piping is the important step in order to determine the size of water supply piping. Now we are using the diversity curve of common water closet in order to determine the simultaneous flow rate of water supply piping, but there is a difference between a determined flow rate of general water closet and that of water closet for water saving. This study aims to find out the fixture unit of a flush valve type water closet for water saving in office building, and to determine the correlation between the fixture units and peak flow rates on the basis of the probability theory. A flush valve type water closet for water saving that have a 7.5 second duration of flush operation with an average design flow rate 72 $\ell$/fin was considered. Simulation results indicate that the number 5 is shown to be reasonable to the fixture unit of water closet for water saving. And the design can be undersized considerably with the revised diversity curves using modified fixture unit.
