2 Pressure Drop and Flow Rates in Residential Water Piping

Gary Klein, Gary Klein and Associates, Inc.
This seminar presents the results of pressure drop testing of pipe, with and without fittings and compares these results to the numbers found in standard engineering reference manuals. A selection of copper, CPVC and PEX piping from 1/4 - 3/4 inch nominal and commonly available elbows at velocities from 1-12 gpm have been tested. The method of tests and the results are presented. Come learn whether these are higher or lower and discuss the implications of not having good numbers for the future of safe, efficient and high performance plumbing design.
