What This Calculator Does

Analyzes hydraulic performance of piping systems with multiple segments. Calculates head loss, velocity, and checks capacity for both pressurized and gravity flow systems. Includes elevation difference for complete pump load analysis.

Key Points:
  • Multi-segment pipe system analysis
  • Darcy-Weisbach for pressurized systems
  • Manning equation for gravity drainage
  • Automatic diameter recommendation
  • Fitting loss calculations (elbow, valve, tee)
  • Elevation difference per segment
  • Total system head (friction + elevation)
Calculation Steps:
  1. Enter all required parameters
  2. Click "Update Calculation"
