Water flow in thermoplastic PVC and CPVC pipes Schedule 40 - friction loss (ft/100 ft, psi/100 ft) and flow velocities at dimensions ranging 1/2 to 16 inches
Shop Charlotte Pipe plastic pipe 3-in x 3-in dia x 20-ft L Schedule 40 Pipe in the PVC DWV Pipe & Fittings department at Lowe's.com. PVC Schedule 40 Foam Core Pipe is for.
- PVC pipe is available in sizes that range from 1/8 inch up to 24 inches in diameter. Some of the most common sizes are ½ inch, 1 ½ inch, 3 inch, 4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch and 10 inch PVC pipe. PVC piping is shipped in standard 10 foot or 20 foot length sections. This saves on overall handling costs and allows offering lower priced products.
- Choose a slot configuration of slotted PVC Screen.125' 11 1' A. Rows of Slots EXAMPLE 6 2' B. Slot Length 4' SCH 40 with 4 rows of.010' wide slots on 90 degree centers 4 3'.
Friction loss and flow velocities in PVC and CPVC pipes Schedule 40 with water are indicated in the table below. The table can be used for pipes in other thermoplastic materials where the inner diameter corresponds to PVC Pipe
Schedule 40.
- 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m
- 1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s
- 1 gal (US)/min =6.30888x10-5 m3/s = 0.227 m3/h = 0.0631 dm3(liter)/s = 2.228x10-3 ft3/s = 0.1337 ft3/min
- 1 psi/100 ft = 2.3 ftH2O/100 ft = 2262 mmH2O/100 m = 22.6 kPa/100 m
Note! Velocities should not exceed 5 feet per second.
The values can be used to calculate minor pressure loss with the Equivalent Pipe Length Method.

Friction head loss (ft/100 ft) in plastic pipes - PVC, PP, PE, PEH
The friction head loss(feet H2O per 100 feet pipe) in straight plastic pipes made of PVC, PP, PE, PEH or similar - can be estimated from the table below.
Head losses are calculated for PVC pipe Schedule 40 by using the Hazen-Williams equation and the Hazen-Williams roughness constant c = 145. Note that minor loss in fittings must be added when calculating total head loss in a pipe line.

1) GPM = US gallons per minute
2) GPH = US gallons per hour
- 1 US gallon/min = 6.30888x10-5 m3/s = 0.227 m3/h = 0.0631 dm3(liter)/s = 2.228x10-3 ft3/s = 0.1337 ft3/min = 0.8327 Imperial gal (UK)/min
- 1 ft H2O = 0.3048 m H2O = 0.4335 psi = 62.43 lbs/ft2
Example - Friction Head Loss in a Plastic Pipe
A flow of 10 GPM in a 2' pipe gives a head loss of 0.2 feet water column per 100 feet of pipe.
