              To calculate percent of open area per ft. of perforated pipe:
       Percent Open = (Inlet Area/Total Area) X 100  
   
   Inlet Area (Sq.In.) = Square Inches of Inlet Area Per Foot of Perforated Pipe
       (Figure from above table using slot width and number of slots per foot)
   
   Total Area (Sq.In.) = Actual Outside Diameter of Pipe (Inches) X .314 x 12"
