    This document provides a pipe headloss calculator to help select pipe material and size for fluid flow systems. It calculates headloss and pressure drop for various flow rates through a 1-1/4 inch polyethylene pipe carrying a 20% concentration of Dowfrost P.G. refrigerant at 25°F. The results show headloss and pressure drop increasing with higher flow rates, with most values falling within the desired range of 1-3 feet of headloss per 100 feet of pipe length. Notes explain the calculation methods used to determine headloss based on pipe material properties and fluid viscosity.
