Frictional HeadLoss Calculator

Frictional HeadLoss Calculator is developed primarily to offer assistance to petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, industrial engineers, computer engineers, nuclear engineers, researchers, simulation enthusiasts, drilling engineers, petroleum production engineers, completion engineers, petrophysicists, petroleum geologists, students (undergraduates, postgraduates, etc.) compute the frictional losses in pipes.

Frictional HeadLoss Calculator computes the frictional losses in pipes.

In piping systems analysis, pressure losses are expressed in terms of the equivalent fluid column height commonly regarded as head loss. The head loss represents the additional height that the fluid needs to be raised by a pump in order to overcome the frictional losses in the pipe.

There are several equations which are often utilized to determine the friction head loss. One of the most reliable methods for evaluating such head losses is by means of the Darcy-Weisbach equation.
