Pipe Friction & Pressure Drop Tool
About This Tool
The Pipe Friction & Pressure Drop Calculator is an advanced web-based tool that helps engineers, contractors, and system designers to determine pressure losses and friction head in pipelines based on pipe material, diameter, length, flow rate, and fittings.
Designed to follow international hydraulic engineering standards, this calculator offers accurate results using Darcy-Weisbach and Reynolds number methods, with real-time support for vertical and horizontal pipe runs, elbows, tees, valves, and other fittings.
- Supports PVC, HDPE, Steel, and Copper piping
- Considers water temperature for viscosity adjustment
- Automatically detects flow regime (laminar/turbulent)
- Includes velocity head loss and cavitation checks
- Export results as PDF for documentation or sharing
Use this tool to properly size pumps, avoid pressure drops, and prevent cavitation in water supply and process piping systems.
