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
