Darcy Friction Loss Calculator For Pipes, Fittings & Valves: Given Data

This document contains calculations for determining head loss from friction in pipes using the Darcy-Weisbach equation. It provides two examples, one for a 300 m3/hr flow rate through a 203.1 mm diameter plastic pipe 74.5 m long, and another for a 3000 m3/hr flow through a 500 mm diameter steel pipe 120 m long. For each example, it lists the given parameters, calculates the velocity, Reynolds number, friction factor, pipe head loss, and head loss from fittings and valves. The total head loss is provided for each full system calculation.
