Pressure Loss: In normal piping, two types of pressure loss can be found:
• Distributed pressure loss related to pipe roughness, dimensions,
physical properties and velocity of the liquids.
• Local loss related to elbows, tees, valves and fittings which can cause a
remarkable variation in the liquid flow. Where,
R = Total Local Pressure Loss (mm)
Distributed Pressure Loss: The Vectus PPR pipe has extremely smooth R = Local Resistance Coefficient Value as given
