peer agreement (net): +2equivalent length of pipe Explanation: Definition of equivalent length. The resistance of a mine airway obstruction, duct or pipe elbow, valve, damper, orifice, bend, fitting, or other obstruction to flow, expressed in the number of feet of straight airway, duct, or pipe of the same cross section that would have the same resistance. https://www.mindat.org/glossary/equivalent_length -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2017-06-13 11:04:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Fittings such as elbows, tees and valves represent a significant component of the pressure loss in most pipe systems. This article details the calculation of pressure losses through pipe fittings and some minor equipment using the equivalent length method. The strength of the equivalent length method is that it is very simple to calculate. The weakness of the equivalent length method is that it is not as accurate as other methods unless very detailed tabulated data is available. https://neutrium.net/fluid_flow/pressure-loss-from-fittings-... |
