Compressed Air Pressure Drop Calculation - 1

This document provides equations for calculating pressure drop in compressed air piping systems based on pipe length, diameter, and initial air pressure. It specifies using equivalent lengths to account for pressure drops from valves and fittings. A general guideline is that the total pressure drop between the air source and farthest point of use should not exceed 0.3 bar.
