 Hazen-Williams Equation for Head Loss or Pressure Loss in Pipes

Imperial Units

Specified Data
l = length of pipe (ft) 452
c = Hazen-Williams roughness constant 100
q = volume flow (gal/min) 778
dh = inside or hydraulic diameter (inches) 8

Calculated Pressure Loss

f = friction head loss in feet of water per 100 feet of pipe (ft H20 per 100 ft pipe) 1.90
f = friction head loss in psi of water per 100 feet of pipe (psi per 100 ft pipe) 0.82

Head loss (ft H20) 8.59

Head loss (psi) 3.69

Calculated Flow Velocity

v = flow velocity (ft/s) 4.97

SI Units

Specified Data
l = length of pipe (m) 30
c = Hazen-Williams roughness constant 140
q = volume flow (liter/sec) 10
dh = inside or hydraulic diameter (mm) 76

Calculated Pressure Loss

f = friction head loss in mm of water per 100 m of pipe (mm H20 per 100 m pipe) 6406.62
f = friction head loss in kPa per 100 m of pipe (kPa per 100 m pipe) 62.85

Head loss (mm H20) 1921.99

Head loss (kPa) 18.85

Calculated Flow Velocity

v = flow velocity (m/s) 2.20
 Darcy Weisbach Equation for Head Loss or Pressure Loss in Fittings

Calculation of Head Loss, hL, and Frictional Pressure Drop, DPf,

for given flow rate, Q, pipe diam., D, pipe length, L, Note: GPM /448.8 =__________

pipe roughness, e, and fluid properties, r & m.

Instructions: Enter values in blue boxes. Spreadsheet calculates values in yellow boxes Pipe Roughness Values

Inputs (enter values in the blue boxes) Calculations (done by spreadsheet)

Pipe Diameter, Din = 6 in Pipe Diameter, D = 0.5000 ft

Pipe Roughness, e = 0.0005 ft

from
Pipe Length, L (ft) = 60.8 Table Cross-Sect. Area, A = 0.1963 ft2

Pipe Flow Rate, Q = 1.337 cfs Ave. Velocity, V = 6.8 ft/sec

Fluid Density, r = 1.94 slugs/ft3 Reynolds number, Re = 241,923

Fluid Viscosity, m = 0.0000273 lb-sec/ft2

From
Friction Factor, f = 0.015 Table
Calculate hL and DPf, using the final value for f calculated in step 2

Darcy Weisbach Equations: hL = f(L/D)(V2/2g) and DPf = rghL

Frictional Head Loss, hL = 1.31 ft

Frictional Pressure
Drop, DPf = 82 psf

Frictional Pressure
Drop, DPf = 0.57 psi

e Roughness Values

Note:
For 2100 < Re < 4000,
called the transition
region, the
flow may be either
laminar or turbulent,
depending upon factors
like the entrance
conditions into the pipe
and the roughness of
the pipe surface
