100 GPM is flowing through 100' of 1 1/4 in. Sch. 40 pipe. How many feet of 1 1/2 in. pipe will
produce the same friction loss? - answer✔Assume this is Schedule 40 pipe, C = 120. Use the
Hazen-Williams formula to calculate the friction loss for the 1 ¼ in. pipe and the 1 ½ in. pipe.
Step #2: Determine the total friction loss for 100 gpm flowing through 100 ft. of 1 ¼ in.
Schedule 40 black steel pipe: 100 ft. x 0.672 psi/ft = 67.2 psi
Step #3: Determine the pipe length to produce the same friction loss in the 1 ½ in. pipe:
y ft. x 0.317 psi/ft = 67.2 psi
y = 67.2 ÷ 0.317
y = 212 ft.
A basic contract: (choose all that apply) - answer✔Contains the names of the parties involved,
References the contract documents, Discusses the work that is to be done, and Discusses start
and completion dates.
Define both the constant, y, and the exponent ,z, for q in the Hazen-Williams friction loss
formula shown Below:
