100 GPM is flowing through 100' of 1 1/4 in. Sch. 40 pipe. How many feet of 1 1/2 in. pipe will produce
the same friction loss? - (answer)Assume this is Schedule 40 pipe, C = 120. Use the Hazen-Williams
formula to calculate the friction loss for the 1 ¼ in. pipe and the 1 ½ in. pipe.
For 1 ¼ in. pipe (ID = 1.38):
P friction loss = 4.52 x Q 1.85
c 1.85 x d 4.87
P friction loss = 4.52 x 100 1.85
120 1.85 x 1.38 4.87
P friction loss = 0.672 psi/ft
For 1 ½ in. pipe (ID = 1.61):
P friction loss = 4.52 x Q 1.85

c 1.85 x d 4.87
P friction loss = 4.52 x 100 1.85
120 1.85 x 1.61 4.87
P friction loss = 0.317 psi/ft
Step #2: Determine the total friction loss for 100 gpm flowing through 100 ft. of 1 ¼ in. Schedule 40
black steel pipe: 100 ft. x 0.672 psi/ft = 67.2 psi
Step #3: Determine the pipe length to produce the same friction loss in the 1 ½ in. pipe:
y ft. x 0.317 psi/ft = 67.2 psi
y = 67.2 ÷ 0.317
y = 212 ft.
