What is Pressure Drop ?

Pressure drop is defined as the difference in total pressure between two points of a fluid carrying network. A pressure drop occurs when frictional forces, caused by the resistance to flow, act on a fluid as it flows through the tube.

How to Calculate Pressure drop over length of pipe?

Pressure drop over length of pipe calculator uses Pressure Difference = (32*Dynamic Viscosity*Mean Velocity*Length of Pipe/(Diameter of Pipe^2)) to calculate the Pressure Difference, The Pressure drop over length of pipe is defined as difference in pressure at two section of pipe over the flow stream. Pressure Difference is denoted by ΔP symbol.

How to calculate Pressure drop over length of pipe using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Pressure drop over length of pipe, enter Dynamic Viscosity (μ), Mean Velocity (V_mean), Length of Pipe (L_p) & Diameter of Pipe (D_pipe) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Pressure drop over length of pipe calculation can be explained with given input values -> 32.31683 = (32*1.02*10.1*0.1/(1.01^2)).

FAQ
