: Radisson, Maldives : Friction Loss in Pipe from Sewage sump to WWTP : 24-Apr-09 : High Density Polyethylene

Hazen-Williams Equation 10.7 x L x Q1.852 Head loss (m) = d4.87 x C1.852

Q = Flow rate in m3/s d = Internal diameter in m C =Hazen-Williams coefficient for HDPE pipe Sewage pump 2 sets for 1 duty 1 standby Flow rate ( max) for each pump Static Head
