The table below can be used to indicate the friction loss - feet of liquid per 100 feet of pipe - in standard schedule 40 steel pipes.
| Pipe Size (inches) |
Flow Rate | Kinematic Viscosity - SSU | ||||||
| (gpm) | (l/s) | 31 (Water) |
100 (~Cream) |
200 (~Vegetable oil) |
400 (~SAE 10 oil) |
800 (~Tomato juice) |
1500 (~SAE 30 oil) |
