Compressed Air Pressure Drop Analysis

The document contains a table providing information about pressure drop in compressed air pipelines of different diameters. It lists volume flow rates ranging from 0.1 to 600 cubic meters per minute and the corresponding pressure drops in pipelines made of Schedule 40 material that are 100 meters long with an initial pressure of 7 kg/cm2. Pressure drops are shown for pipe diameters of 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2 and 3 inches.
