Hi,

 

I am currently verifying a line size for the replacement of a hot seawater line operating at 8 barg and 65 C. We are using an Elastopipe with a hazen Williams C-factor of 130. Using the Hazen-Williams equation has some disadvantage in my case given that the temperature is outside the applicable range of the equation (up to 24 C).

 

If the vendor doesn't provide a roughness value, Is there a way to calculate it using the C-factor?

 

Thanks,

Sherif

Here is the formula.  http://www.engineeri...ater-d_797.html

Calculate the friction factor that gives you the same head loss as Hazen-Williams. Then you can determine the roughness that produces that friction factor. Nothing magic about the temperature.

For water system, you may use C - Factor as 120 (Refer attached cal. done by me for my previous project for Fire water Line Sizing)

C value changed based on pipe material.

You can find lots detail engineering tools in
