Standard Documentation
Pipe Pressure LossScope: What does this tool calculate?
Calculates Reynolds number, friction factor, and pressure loss for internal pipe flow.
Assumptions and Units
- The model is based on Darcy-Weisbach; SI units are used (m, kg/s, Pa).
- Fluid properties are treated as constant at selected conditions (quick-check assumption).
- Roughness, diameter, and length inputs follow straight-pipe segment logic.
Limits / Boundaries
- Multiphase flow, abrupt expansion/contraction, and local losses are limited in this baseline model.
- High-temperature viscosity shifts and compressibility effects require additional verification.
Reference Standard
- Darcy-Weisbach approach
- EN ISO 5167 (flow/measurement reference)
- VDI 2048 (application notes)
Validation Example
Water line quick check
| Input | Expected Output |
|---|---|
| Q=2.0 L/s, D=50 mm, L=20 m, roughness=0.045 mm | Re > 4000, pressure drop around 8-15 kPa |
Note: For real systems, include local loss coefficients (elbows, valves).

Calculation explanation
How to use
- Enter fluid properties (ρ, μ) and flow rate.
- Add pipe diameter, length, and roughness.
- Review Reynolds number, friction factor, and pressure loss.
Formula
Re = ρ·v·D/μ | f = 0.25/[log10(ε/(3.7D)+5.74/Re^0.9)]^2 | ΔP = f·(L/D)·ρ·v^2/2Common mistakes
- Entering diameter in m instead of mm.
- Forgetting pipe roughness.
- Mixing m³/h with m³/s.
