Handbook <strong>of</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> Irrigation InformationIrrigation Association Friction Lossand Velocity Charts 2008Tables are based upon the following:Hazen-Williams Equation:H f = (0.2083) (100 / C) 1.852 (Q 1.852 / D 4.866 )<strong>The</strong> result is multiplied by 0.433 to give PSI loss for 100 feet <strong>of</strong> pipe.<strong>The</strong> velocity values were derived using the following equation:V = (0.408 x Q gpm) / d 2<strong>The</strong> average inside diameter <strong>of</strong> OD controlled pipe was based upon subtracting two times the minimum wallthickness plus one-half <strong>of</strong> the wall thickness tolerance from the outside diameter.Resources <strong>of</strong> information for pipe diameters and wall thickness came from:oooASABE Standards 2007, ANSI/ASAE S376.2 Design, Installation and Performance <strong>of</strong>Underground, <strong>The</strong>rmoplastic Irrigation PipesUni-Bell Handbook <strong>of</strong> PVC Pipe, Uni-Bell PVC Pipe AssociationAppropriate ASTM standards for non plastic pipesPressure ratings for plastic pipes are based on 23° C or 73.4° FHead loss decreases (increases) approximately 1% for every 3 degrees F above (below) the referencetemperature (73.4° F).70
