Loss of head<br />

calculation<br />

Loss of head in<br />

straight pipe runs<br />

Already during design of the plant and piping layout in front of and behind the pump,<br />

losses can be limited when considering:<br />

• the pipe diameter is sufficiently dimensioned,<br />

• less fittings are used,<br />

• fittings with low friction loss are selected,<br />

• short pipe runs are planned.<br />

The diagram shows the loss of head for straight pipe runs as a function of a pipe length of<br />

100 m and a given flow velocity v depending on the flow rate and the pipe diameter.
