Pipe Contraction Friction Loss Calculator

Pipe Contraction Friction Loss Calculator

Calculate the friction loss in a pipe contraction under pressure flow using:
\[ h_f = K_c \frac{V^2}{2g} \]

* Enter the contraction loss coefficient \(K_c\) and the flow velocity \(V\) (ft/s).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 0.6

Example: 15 ft/s

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