Calculator can be used for resistance coefficient (or resistance
factor) K and equivalent length l/d calculation for valves and
fittings. Resistance coefficient K and equivalent length l/d is
proportional coefficient between pressure drop (head loss) and
square velocity of fluid flowing through valves and fittings like
elbow, bend, reducer, tee, pipe entrance and exit, as follows:
The head loss due to resistance in valves and fittings are always
associated with the diameter on which velocity occurs.
Resistance coefficient and equivalent length l/d calculator should
be used with pressure drop calculator or with gas compressible
flow calculator to calculate pressure drop in piping system that
includes obstructions like fittings and valves.

Based on the size and shape of valves and fittings different

values for resistance coefficient and equivalent length l/d are
calculated. Calculator can be used for elbows, pipe bends, mitre
where is: bends, return bends, standard tee, pipe entrance, pipe exit and
for sudden and gradual enlargement or contraction of pipe.
hL - head loss
K - resistance coefficient Can't see the calculator? Click here to find out why.
