Following formulas are used in Calculation: 92.1 x S.G x Q Re Dx HL f x L x V2 2xgxd P 11.5 x 10-6 x f x L x Q2 x S.G d5 Friction Factor is taken from Moody Chart

f Note: 1. Equivalent Lengths of valves and fittings are taken from API-RP14E 2. Allowable pressure drop as per API-RP14E is 1 psi / 100 feet 3. 12" line is used in Plant so total pressure drop in piping including all fittings and valves is 38.12 psi.
