    Valves & Fittings Equivalent Lengths

    Uploaded by

    CzarSAS
    The document provides tables listing the equivalent pipe lengths in feet of various valves, strainers and pipe fittings based on their nominal pipe size. Equivalent length accounts for the increased pressure drop caused by these components compared to straight pipe. Larger valves, elbows and other fittings have greater equivalent lengths. The tables cover component sizes from 3/8 to 24 inches.
