Never use malleable iron fittings or pipe unless the fluid is non-hazardous and the pressure not greater than 25psig. Always use a pressure rating at least four times that of the maximum system pressure. Also, never use cast iron or malleable iron fittings or valves in pressure-pulsating ...
The development of the friction factor formulae is based on the maximum entropy model. This development can be regarded as a conceptual model, but not completely, because of the relationship between the Reynolds number (Re) and the entropy parameter (M) determined by curve fittings accomplished ...

However the Hazen-Williams results rely upon the value of the friction factor, C hw, which is used in the formula, and the C value can vary significantly, from around 80 up to 130 and higher, depending on the pipe material, pipe size and the fluid velocity. ...

The knowledge of the head loss in the flow of non-Newtonian fluids is very important for the execution of pipelines and pumping systems designs, common in plants of almost all kinds of industries. The determination of the total head loss involves the establishment of the friction factor ...
Losses in Pipe Flows Major Losses: due to friction, significant head loss is associated with the straight portions of pipe flows. This loss can be calculated using the Moody chart or Colebrook equation. Minor Losses: Additional components (valves, bends, tees, contractions, etc) in pipe flows ...
The “C” factor is a measure of the roughness of the pipe internal wall. The “C” factor can be compared to the epsilon value used in the Darcy-Weisbach calculation; however, as we discussed before, there are more variables taken into consideration to determine the “f” factor. The ...
The four main factors affecting the frictional loss in a pipe are: The pipe's diameter; The length of the pipe; The pipe's roughness factor; and The volumetric flow rate. Apart from these, the fluid's viscosity and the elevation difference between the inlet and the outlet may also need ...
In Eq. (65) the friction factor was introduced as an empirical factor of proportionality in the calculation of the friction loss head. If Eq. (63) is applied to a length of straight horizontal pipe with no pumps, one finds that (93)−hf=Δp/ρg. Elimination of hf between Eqs. (65...
