Friction Loss in Pipe Calculator












Friction Loss Formula

Pressure Loss in Pipe (\( H_f \)):

\[ H_f = \frac{f \cdot L \cdot V^2}{2 \cdot g \cdot D} \]

Where:

  • \( H_f \) is the pressure loss in the pipe, in meters (m).
  • \( f \) is the friction factor.
  • \( L \) is the length of the pipe, in meters (m).
  • \( V \) is the average velocity of water in the pipe, in meters per second (m/s).
  • \( g \) is the gravitational acceleration, typically \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
  • \( D \) is the pipe diameter, in meters (m).
