Equivalent Length Method

This document calculates pressure loss through multiple piping sections using the equivalent pipe length method. It provides details on pipe size, flow rate, piping components, equivalent length of each component, total equivalent length, and pressure loss for each section and the total system. The piping materials are PVC Schedule 40. Sections are summed to calculate the total equivalent length and pressure loss across the entire piping system.
