Pressure Drop Calc. v.1

This document contains calculations for pressure drop (DP) in piping systems for both gas and liquid flows based on formulas from industry references like GPSA and API standards. It includes parameters like pipe dimensions, flow rates, temperatures, viscosities, and calculates DP based on Reynolds number and friction factors. The results show DP values in psi for different pipe configurations, materials, flow regimes, and horizontal or vertical orientations.
