Lined Pipes - Pressure Loss vs. Water Flow

Pressure drop diagrams for PTFE, PP, PFA and PVDF lined pipes.

Pressure Drop - Imperial Units

1 gal (US)/min =6.30888x10^-5 m³/s = 0.227 m³/h = 0.06309 dm³(litre)/s = 2.228x10^-3 ft³/s = 0.1337 ft³/min
1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s
1 psi (lb/in²) = 6,894.8 Pa (N/m²) = 6.895x10^-3 N/mm² = 6.895x10^-2 bar = 27.71 in H₂O at 62^oF (16.7^oC) = 703.1 mm H₂O at 62^oF (16.7^oC) = 2.0416 in mercury at 62^oF (16.7^oC) = 51.8 mm mercury at 62^oF (16.7^oC) = 703.6 kg/m² = 2.307 Ft. H₂O

Pressure Drop - SI units

1 Pa = 10^-6 N/mm² = 10^-5 bar = 0.1020 kp/m² = 1.02x10^-4 m H₂O = 9.869x10^-6 atm = 1.45x10^-4 psi (lbf/in²)
1 liter/s = 10^-3 m³/s = 3.6 m³/h = 0.03532 ft³/s = 2.1189 ft³/min (cfm) = 13.200 Imp.gal (UK)/min = 15.852 gal (US)/min = 792 Imp. gal (UK)/h
1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 196.85 ft/min = 2.237 mph
