Fricton Loss in Valves & Fittings

This document provides a table listing the equivalent lengths of straight pipe for various pipe fittings, including elbows, tees, returns, valves, and more. The table includes pipe sizes from 1/2" to 16" diameter. The equivalent lengths are given in feet and represent the length of straight pipe that would produce the same friction loss as the given fitting. Larger fittings generally have higher equivalent lengths.
