Introduction
Our pipe flow calculator is based on the steady state incompressible energy equation utilizing Darcy-Weisbach friction losses as well as minor losses. The pipe flow calculation can compute flow rate, velocity, pipe diameter, elevation difference, pressure difference, pipe length, minor loss coefficient, and pump head (total dynamic head). The density and viscosity of a variety of liquids and gases are coded into the pipe flow program, but you can alternatively select 'User defined fluid' and enter the density and viscosity for fluids not listed. Though some industries use the term 'fluid' when referring to liquids, we use it to mean either liquids or gases in our pipe flow calculator. The pipe flow calculation allows you to select from a variety of piping scenarios which are discussed below.
Comments on gas flow
As mentioned above, the equations that our pipe flow calculator is based upon are for incompressible flow. The incompressible flow assumption is valid for liquids. It is also valid for gases if the pressure drop is less than 40% of the upstream pressure. Crane (1988, p. 3-3) states that if the pressure drop is less than 10% of the upstream gage pressure (gage pressure is pressure relative to atmospheric pressure) and an incompressible model is used, then the gas density should be based on either the upstream or the downstream conditions. If the pressure drop is between 10% and 40% of the upstream gage pressure, then the density should be based on the average of the upstream and downstream conditions. If the pressure drop exceeds 40% of the upstream gage pressure, then a compressible pipe flow model, like the Weymouth, Panhandle A, or Panhandle B should be used.

Pipe Flow Scenarios
Since boundary conditions affect the flow characteristics, our pipe flow calculator allows you to select whether your locations 1 and 2 are within pipes, at the surface of open reservoirs, or in pressurized mains (same as pressurized tank). If there is no pump between locations 1 and 2, then enter the pump head (Hp) as 0.
