Pressure drop thru copper tube

Paul Rohrs_2

I have found a spreadsheet to calculate pressure drop in a system. I am really looking for a Simplified version for some bigger projects. Again, simplified is the key word.

I would like to be able to type in as variables:

Copper Tube Size


GPM

Flow rate

Pressure drop

It would be nice to change any parameter and see the resulting change with the other variables. I attended a copper clinic years ago and have a flow-rate, velocity, and pressure drop chart that I use almost daily. It would be nice if it were in spreadsheet form. I will post that later this evening after I scan it in.

Any thoughts would be helpful. Also, this might be great to have in "The Library".

I have job developing that will have large volumes of water that I need to calc the pressure drop which affects my flow rate, velocity, recovery time, and how many storage tanks I will need for peak conditions.

Paul,

you should be able to run all these calcs with Siggy's Design Software. Maybe not as quick as a spread sheet, but it is all doable.

The sad part...

is that I was temporarily brain-locked in that I am a Bell & Gossett distributor AND I own siggys software. (To many "irons in the fire" this week.)

Thanks for letting me lean on you guys and not making me feel foolish when it was right in front of me.
