Equivalent Length
Equivalent Length
(OP)
Hi,
Just a quick quesiton. I have been looking with no success for some values for the equivalent length of both iron unions and couplings. Sorry I can't be more specific but I hope someone can help.
Thank you.

In addition, the effect of pressure drop through minor fittings is negligible when the ratio of pipeline length to pipe diameter is large.
For these reasons, the minor losses associated with items such as unions are generally ignored.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.
