Fanning friction factors are used to calculate pressure losses due to friction in pipes. The graph shows the relationship between Fanning friction factors and Reynolds number for fluid flow in pipes. The Reynolds number is a dimensionless number that relates inertial forces to viscous forces and depends on pipe diameter, fluid velocity, density, and viscosity.
