Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the pressure drop.

What is the pressure drop?

The pressure drop is the diffrenece in pressure between two points provided that there is a fluid flow between those points.

How to calculate pressure drop?

To calculate pressure drop you should use the following formula:
Δp = f (L/D) * (ρ/gc) * (v²/2)
where:
Δp = pressure drop
f = friction factor
L = length of pipe
D = internal diameter of pipe
ρ = fluid density at mean temperature
v = average velocity
gc = units conversion factor

Why use pressure drop?

The pressure drop in circular pipes calculator is used in order to allow process plant engineers to determine the size of the pumps, motors needed and the process pipe diameter required to move a particular type of product through a piping system.
