Hazen-Williams Equation for Pressure Loss in Pipes Imperial Units

Specified Data l = length of pipe (ft) c = Hazen-Williams roughness constant q = volume flow (gal/min) dh = inside or hydraulic diameter (inches) Calculated Pressure Loss f = friction head loss in feet of water per 100 feet of pipe (ft H20 per 100 ft pipe) f = friction head loss in psi of water per 100 feet of pipe (psi per 100 ft pipe) Head loss (ft H20) Head loss (psi) Calculated Flow Velocity v = flow velocity (ft/s)
