10.1 System Performance Graph
The system performance graph illustrates the advantages of using shorter, multiple pipes over fewer, longer
pipe lengths. A single pipe of 100 meters has a transport time of 80 seconds. Two pipes of 50 meters have a
transport time of around 33 seconds. Four pipes of 25 meters have a transport time of 20 seconds. Each of
these configurations will protect the same area, but have substantially different transport time performance.
