Design Calculators - Mechanical

Fluid Type Select the type of fluid flowing through the pipe. This affects its density and viscosity. Water Air Engine Oil (SAE 30)

Pipe Material The material of the pipe affects its roughness, which is a key factor in friction loss calculations. Commercial Steel Cast Iron PVC Copper

Fluid Temperature (℃) Enter the temperature of the fluid in degrees Celsius. This will be used to determine fluid properties.

Pipe Internal Diameter (mm) The internal diameter of the pipe. Ensure consistent units.

Pipe Length (m) The total length of the pipe section for which pressure drop is calculated.

Input Type Choose which parameter you will input. The other two will be calculated. Flow Rate Velocity Pressure Drop

Flow Rate (m3/s) Volumetric flow rate of the fluid. Velocity (m/s) Average velocity of the fluid in the pipe. Pressure Drop (Pa) The total pressure drop across the pipe section in Pascals.
