A nomogram showing pressure losses and flows of water at a temperature of 10°C through pipes, based on Lamont’, smonth pipe formula $8, is shown in figure D2 ‘Typical values for equivalent pipe lengths for elbows and (ees are shown in table D.3. D.22 Draw-off taps ‘The residual head available at each tap or outlet fing “should be at least equal to the loss of headl through the tap at the design flow rate. Altematively, the loss of hhead may be expressed as an equivalent length of pipe. Some typical losses for low pressure taps are shown in table D2.
