<strong>Pipe</strong>life <strong>Norge</strong> <strong>AS</strong><strong>PE</strong> CATALOGUE-SUBMARINE APPLICATIONS, PI<strong>PE</strong>LIFE NORGE <strong>AS</strong>, December 2002.Fig. A.2.1.1 The Moody chart for pipe friction with smooth and rough wallsThe entrance parameter on the horizontal axis (x-axis) is the Reynolds number.To find the right curve, we need to decide the relative roughness (r r ) for the pipe wall.r rε= A.2-4)Dε = absolute roughness, taken from table A.1.3 (mm)D = internal diameter (mm)On the right hand side in the Moody chart you will find figures for relative roughness representingdifferent curves.The intersection point between Reynolds number and the relative roughness curve gives thecoefficient of friction (f). The value for (f) is found on the vertical axis (y-axis) on the left hand side inMoody's chart.Example 2Assume that example 1 represent a pipeline for transport of potable water crossing a fiord.Find the coefficient of friction (f).Solution :We have already calculated the Reynolds number in example 1 R e = 2.97 ⋅ 10 5Now we need to find the relative roughness (r r ) :ε = 0.25 mmSide 19 av 84
