10P. Equivalent diameter calculations for pipes in series Back to Main

This screen is used to calculate a diameter for a pipeline system having the same capacity as an existing pipeline system. The calculated diameter, or the equivalent diameter, depends on the length of the pipeline. If the fluid is a gas, you need to select an equation to be used in the calculations. You need to select whether it is Weymouth or Panhandle. Then enter the information of the existing pipeline: length and diameter.
