18 - Pipe Pressure Drop Calculations

SIMPLE PIPE PRESSURE DROP CALCULATION - READ ME
Overview
This spreadsheet contains pipe pressure drop calculations for single phase fluids (either gas or liquid)
Friction factor is calculated iteratively using the Colebrook-White equation (which is the key equation used
well known Moodey Chart)
Preliminary pipe wall thickness calculations, lookup of standard industry sizes and erosional velocity check
included.
