(From Graph below)

Copper, Lead, Brass, Aluminum (new)

3.33 - 6.7 10-6

PVC and Plastic Pipes

0.5 - 2.33 10-5

Epoxy, Vinyl Ester and Isophthalic pipe

Steel commercial pipe

Rusted steel (corrosion)

New cast iron

Worn cast iron

Rusty cast iron

Sheet or asphalted cast iron

Well planed wood

From the Noody Diagram below

So, total head loss Calculation is stated as below.
