TECHNICAL NOTES

FRICTION LOSS IN SCHEDULE 80 SYSTEMS
 
  • Data shown is calculated from WIlliams and Hazen formula: H=(3.023/C1.852)(V1.852/D1.167) using C-150. For water at 60°F. Where H = head loss, V = fluid velocity ft./sec., D = diameter of pipe, ft. C = coefficient representing roughness of pipe interiour surface.
  • Fittings Table: all measurements are in equivalent feet of pipe.
  • Piping Table: velocity measured in feet/second, friction loss measured in feet of water head per 100 feet of pipe.
