The pressure head loss or piping friction is provided for in an extract of Cameron
Hydraulic data book (see Figures 5 and 6). For the purpose of this exercise use
schedule 40 steel pipe. The friction loss in pipes is typically given in terms of feet of
fluid per 100 feet of pipe that the fluid moves through.
