PRESSURE DROP CALCULATION EQUATIONS FOR PIPING AND PIPELINE

Ajay S. Satpute Sr. Process Engineer M. Tech. (Chemical) I.I.T., Madras, INDIA Ramboll Oil & Gas, QATAR Introduction: This spreadsheet is the compilation of pressure drop calculation equations for piping and pipeline. The purpose of this exercise is to have most reliable equations for pressure drop calculations at one place. YELLOW boxes are for input parameters and BLUE boxes are the calculated values.
