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 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
