Equivalent Lengths of Pipe Fittings

Pipe fittings including tees, elbows, bends, couplings, and valves contribute a substantial amount of pressure loss in a piping system. Hence, it is important to take them into account during the design process in order to properly size the motors and pumps needed to transport the process fluid within the system. One way to estimate …

Pipe Flow Calculator

Volumetric Flow Rate In Pipes The volumetric flow rate of a fluid through a pipe is not constant across the cross-section. In fact, the flow rate will exhibit a trend similar to that shown in the figure below: As seen in the figure, the average velocity, Vavg, is used to calculate the volumetric flow rate …
