Head loss (Hazen-Williams) – rising mains

Inputs

Formulas

J = 10,67 × Q^1,852 / (C^1,852 × D^4,87) [SI, m/m]
ΔH = J × L ; HMT ≈ H_géo + ΔH (+ pertes singulières)

Assumptions

  • Empirical formula valid for water at ambient temperature, turbulent flow, D ≥ ~50 mm. TDH excludes minor losses.

Fill in the inputs and run the calculation: results and every intermediate step will appear here.
