    This document discusses minor head losses that occur in pipe systems due to entrance and exit effects, sudden expansions and contractions, bends, valves, and other components. It provides the loss coefficient (KL) values for different pipe fitting geometries, including reentrant versus rounded pipe entrances, sharp versus rounded bends, and types of valves such as globe valves, gate valves, and check valves. The loss coefficients quantify the head loss associated with different minor loss elements in pipes.
