Pressure drop in pipeline in a bend or elbow

AI Thread Summary
Estimating pressure drop in pipelines with 90° bends can be facilitated by using resources like Crane Technical Paper 410 and Cameron Hydraulic Data. Users recommend an online calculator available at pressure-drop.com for quick calculations based on pipe diameter and flow rate. Additionally, a downloadable software called Pressure Drop 7.0 is highlighted for its effectiveness in closed systems. A tutorial on friction loss in fittings is also shared as a helpful resource. These tools and references can significantly aid in understanding and calculating pressure drops in pipeline systems.

I wonder if there is no table or graph with which I can make a quick estimation of the pressure drop in relation with pipe diameter and flowrate ( for 90° bends only ) ... can anyone help me with that ??

Thanks !

Excellent sources for this stuff are Crane Technical Paper 410 and Cameron Hydraulic Data.

Also try online calculator on:

Download this small software where you put the diameter and the flow rate and it will calculate the pressure drop "For closed systems" >> http://www.firavia.com/pipesizer.rar

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
