CALCULATION EXAMPLE

The friction loss for fittings is given by formula [3]. [3] The K factors for the different fittings type is given in the form of graphs (see Figures 8 and 9 which are extracts of the Hydraulic Engineering’s Standards book, www.pumps.org). Use these figures for the K factors in equation [3] for fittings and manual valves. SECTION FLOW (Usgal/min) ................
