Pressure drop in compressed air pipe lines

Compressed Air Pressure Drop Diagrams

Compressed Air Entering Pressure 5 kg/cm2

1 kg/cm2 = 0.98 bar = 735 mmHg = 10000 mmH2O = 14.2 psi

1 m3/min = 0.017 m3/s = 60 m3/h = 1000 liter/min = 35.3 cfm

1 m (meter) = 3.2808 ft = 39.37 in
Compressed Air Entering Pressure 7.5 kg/cm2

Compressed Air Entering Pressure 10 kg/cm2

Compressed Air Entering Pressure 13 kg/cm2

compressed air pressure drop - imperial units

Compressed Air Pressure Drop for Pipe Other than Schedule 40
Compressed air pressure drop in pipes other than schedule 40 can be calculated as
dp = dp40 (d40 / d)5 (1)
where
dp = actual pressure drop (bar per 100 m pipe)
dp40 = pressure drop in schedule 40 pipe from the table or diagram above (bar per 100 m pipe)
d40 = inside diameter schedule 40 pipe (inches)
d = actual inside diameter (inches)

Compressed Air Pressure Drop for Pipe Other than Schedule 40

Compressed air pressure drop in pipes other than schedule 40 can be calculated as

dp = dp40 (d40 / d)5

where
dp = actual pressure drop (bar per 100 m pipe)
dp40 = pressure drop in schedule 40 pipe from the table or diagram above (bar per 100 m pipe)
d40 = inside diameter schedule 40 pipe (inches)
d = actual inside diameter (inches)
