PIPE FRICTION CALCULATION

The average velocity v in a pipe is calculated based on the formula [1] and the appropriate units

are indicated in parentheses. (see the last page for a table of all the symbols)

The Reynolds Re number is calculated based on formula [2].

If the Reynolds number is below 2000 than the flow is said to be in a laminar regime. If the

Reynolds number is above 4000 the regime is turbulent. The velocity is usually high enough in

industrial processes to make the flow regime turbulent. The viscosity of many fluids can be

found in the Cameron Hydraulic data book. The viscosity of water at 60F is 1.13 cSt.

If the flow is laminar then the friction parameter f is calculated with the laminar flow equation [3].

If the flow is turbulent then the friction parameter f is calculated based on the Swamee-Jain

equation [4].

In the turbulent flow regime the friction factor f depends on the absolute roughness of the pipe

inner wall. Table 1 provide some values for various materials.

 λ = f( Re, k / d h  )k  = relative roughness of tube or duc t wall (mm, ft) 

k / d h  = the roughness rat io 

Relative roughness for materials are determined by experiments.

Relative roughness for some common materials can be found in the table below :

x 10-3

m feet

Copper, Lead, Brass, Aluminum (new) 0.001 - 0.002 3.33 - 6.7 10-6

PVC and Plastic Pipes 0.0015 - 0.007 0.5 - 2.33 10-5

Epoxy, Vinyl Ester and Isophthalic pipe 0.005 1.7 10-5

Stainless steel 0.015 5 10-5

Steel commercial pipe 0.045 - 0.09 1.5 - 3 10-4

Stretched steel 0.015 5 10-5

Weld steel 0.045 1.5 10-4

Galvanized steel 0.15 5 10-4

Rusted steel (corrosion) 0.15 - 4 5 - 133 10-4

New cast iron 0.25 - 0.8 8 - 27 10-4

Worn cast iron 0.8 - 1.5 2.7 - 5 10-3

Rusty cast iron 1.5 - 2.5 5 - 8.3 10-3

Sheet or asphalted cast iron 0.01 - 0.015 3.33 - 5 10-5

Smoothed cement 0.3 1 10-3

Ordinary concrete 0.3 - 1 1 - 3.33 10-3

Coarse concrete 0.3 - 5 1 - 16.7 10-3

Well planed wood 0.18 - 0.9 6 - 30 10-4

Ordinary wood 5 16.7 10-3

The friction coefficient - λ - can be calculated by the Colebrooke Equation:

1 / λ1/2 

 = -2,0 log 10  [ (2,51 / (Re λ1/2  )) + (k / d h  ) / 3,72 ] (9) 

Roughness Ratio - k / d h .
