Air Velocity in a Pipe

Using the equation and typical values of V, D and L explained to the right approximate values of P are computed as follows:

 

V = air velocity in feet per second
D = pipe inside diameter in inches
L = length of pipe in feet
P = pressure loss due to air friction in ounces/square inch

formula from B.F.Sturtevant Company
