Babcock Formula
- Thread starter jhartis
- Start date
The Babcock formula for pressure drop can be found at the following website:
Here it is for your info;
Pressure Drop (PSI)= .000130W^2*L/pd^5 *(1+3.6/d)
Where:
W= Steam Flow Rate, lb/min
L = Length pf Pipe, ft
p =.0434 for 2 PSIG Steam
.0612 for 10 PSIG Steam
.0855 for 20 PSIG Steam
.1351 for 40 PSIG Steam
.1818 for 60 PSIG Steam
.2127 for 80 PSIG Steam
.2564 for 100 PSIG Steam
d= Inside diameter of Pipe, in.
Hope this helps
