gpm = gallons per minute (USA gallons not imperial gallons) d = inside diameter of the pipe in inches The empirical nature of the friction factor C hw means that the Hazen-Williams formula is not suitable for accurate prediction of head loss. The friction loss results are only valid for ...

For steam system to work properly, it is important to maintain reasonable velocities of liquid passing through piping. Velocity is constant for a given flow rate and independent of pipe length. Pipe diameters are selected to achieve a velocity of 5-10 feet per second. Chart versions of...

Look up the pressure-loss data for 1-inch Schedule 40 steel pipe. The chart shows that at 9.5-gpm, water loses 2.6-psi per 100-feet of pipe. Step 3 Adjust the published data for your measured example. Since the flow increases as a function of the square root of pressure difference, ...
Table 3.A sample schedule 80 pipe chart. In this example, let’s assume the system pump has been upgraded to one that delivers 30 gallons per minute (GPM). Since you do not want to exceed 5 feet per second, look down the 5 feet per second column to find the flow rate. Notice that...
