Pipe Expansion Friction Loss (Partial Flow) Calculator

Partial Flow Pipe Expansion Friction Loss Calculator

Calculate the friction loss in a pipe expansion under partial flow using:
\[ h_f = K_{ep} \frac{V^2}{2g} \]

* Enter the expansion loss coefficient for partial flow \(K_{ep}\) and the flow velocity \(V\) (ft/s).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 0.8

Example: 12 ft/s

Formula: \[ h_f = K_{ep} \frac{V^2}{2g} \] with \(g = 32.2 \, \text{ft/s}^2\).
