Hazen-Williams equation
The Hazen-Williams formula can be used to calculate the pressure loss in a length of pipe due to friction dependent on the flow. This equation is commonly used for pressure drop calculations in American fire sprinkler systems, water distribution systems, and irrigation systems. Additional recommended knowledgewhere: Pd = pressure drop in pounds per square inch / foot Q = flow in gallons per minute C = factor (friction loss coefficient) - the higher the C factor, the smoother the pipe. Typical C factors used in design, which take into account some increase in roughness as pipe ages are as follows:
d = inside hydraulic diameter (inch) An alternate form of the Hazen Williams Equation is: where: V = Velocity (in feet per second) C = as above Rh = Hydraulic Radius (in feet) (see Manning formula) S = Energy Gradient or Friction Slope (hf/L) In SI unitsQ = C = factor (friction loss coefficient) A = Rh = S = See also
