Pressure Flow

Friction loss through PVC pipe is normally obtained by using the Hazen-Williams equation shown below for water:

f = 0.2083 x (100) 1.852 x Q 1.852

C di 4.8655

Where:

f = friction head loss in feet of water per 100 feet of pipeC = constant for inside pipe roughness (C = 150 for ABS

and PVC pipe)Q = flow in U.S. gallons per minute

di = inside diameter of pipe in inches

Friction Loss Through Fittings

The friction loss through fittings is considered to be equivalent to the loss through a certain number of linear feet of pipe of the same diameter as the fittings. To determine the loss through a piping system, add together the number of “equivalent feet” calculated for the fittings in the system.

The chart below shows approximate friction losses, in equivalent feet, for a variety of Schedule 40 & 80 PVC and CPVC fittings of different sizes.

The table on page 49 shows friction heads in feet and friction losses in psi for Schedule 40 pipe. It also shows the gallons per minute (GPM) and velocities (in feet per second) for various pipe sizes.

Water Velocities

Water velocities in feet per second may be calculated as follows:

V = 0.408709 Q di2
