    The Hazen-Williams equation calculates head loss (hf) in feet of water in a pipeline based on length of the pipe (L), flow rate (Q), pipe diameter (d), and a constant (C) that depends on the pipe material. It is used to estimate pressure loss over the length of a force main. The example provided calculates the head loss for different pipe diameters and lengths given a flow rate of 40 GPM through 8 feet of PVC pipe, with a constant of 150.

    Hazen-Williams Equation

    hf = (10.434*L*Q^1.85)/C^1.85*d^4.8655)
    where:

    Answer:

    hf = head loss in feet


    L = length of force main in feet
    Q = pump discharge rate in GPM
    C = constant (150 for PVC pipe)
    d = diameter of pipe in inches
    (can be actual or nominal;
    i.e., the difference is not
    critical to the calculation)
    hf =
