Pressfit Piping - Friction Loss vs. Water Flow

Water flow friction loss in pressfit piping.

The tables below indicates friction loss for water flow through pressfit pipes Schedule 5 Carbon Steel Pipe or Type 304/304L and Type 316/316L Stainless steel pipe.

The pressure drop calculations are made with the D'Arcy-Weisbach Equation.
