DOMESTIC WATER PRESSURE DROP FOR CRITICAL LINE OF Booster Pump

D p = 6.819 x L x (V/C) 1.852

x (1/D) 1.167 x r x g ............... Hazen-Williams Equation

Dp = Pressure Drop (Pa)

L = Equivalent Pipe Lenght (m)
D = Internal Diameter of pipe (m)
r = Fluid Density at Mean Temperature (kg/m3)
r = 1000 (kg/m3)
V = Average Velocity (m/s)
g = 9.81 (m/s2)
C = Roughness Factor (140 for Steel and Plastic Pipe)
